Coil 'em up or bundle 'em up and throw a tie wrap around 'em, or leave them
dangle and stop worrying about it.
IMHO, there is far too much hand wringing about this stuff. The only CM chokes
in my station are molded onto the cables supplied by the computer and monitor
suppliers and the one outside at the feedpoint of my inverted-vee. It"s one of
those "low-performance" W2DU types.
If I use a handheld HF radio to sniff up close to the clothes washer and dryer,
the fridge, the dishwasher, the induction cooktop, the computer monitors and TV
sets, the wall warts, etc, I hear garbage. I hear none of it using the HF
antennas on the tower a 100' away. On 160 using the TX Inverted-L on receive I
still hear more than I can work with 500W.

Hello all,
I've been following the forum for a
while and learning a great deal
about RF, RFI, etc. So I'm in the
process of cleaning up my ham shack.
Putting in a SPG (single point ground)
and in general, being pro-active
about RFI.
One thing I'm not sure of; what should
I do with the excess length of
power cords. i.e. A 6ft cord on my
computer, but it's only two feet to
the outlet. Extra length on wall warts,
audio cables etc. ?
Coil them up, bunch them up? I don't
really want to cut them all down to
length, as I do move things around.
Thanks in advance,
Greg
