As a quick check/test I found some likely Ethernet RFI crud close to 50.120 and
3.770.
Shut computer down - 50.120 E'net crud stops as computer shuts off.
Disconnected E'net cable from computer & router then powered computer back up
and switched it over to it's wireless interface.
50.120 & 3770 crud still gone.
With the availability of reasonably priced wireless routers along with plugin
wireless adapters for computer ethernet and USB ports not sure why it makes
sense to still fuss with using wired Ethernet networks in home/shack and then
need to install toroids, shielded cables, etc. to rid the radio of Ethernet RFI
crud. Maybe one short e'net cable needed between the router and upstream
cable/DSL/etc. modem and thats it.
