There are two RFI problem at my house ... a set of computer speakers my wife uses on a TV upstairs likes a couple of 20 meter frequencies. And a couple of frequencies on 40 meters turns on just one sector of my underground sprinkling system. Out by the mail box. Only runs when I transmit...

Coiling the speaker cables seems to have changed them from being antennas, but the sprinkler system is still an enigma. I am still working that.

THAT'S why ferrite common mode chokes fixes the RFI -- it kills the
RF current on the cable, which prevents it from exciting the pin 1
problem. In fact, if it were a SHIELDING problem, the choke would not
help.
