Oh, I don't have a bit of doubt that you're right -- once inside my
station, all bets are off. I have very little confidence in the integrity
of my various jumpers, etc. I also have no way of knowing how much of the
birdies, etc. are getting into the radios via the power wiring, either
being conducted straight into the radios or re-radiated to various cables
in the shack. I have a skillion conductors that could be implicated.
This monitor I just got rid of, however, was truly special. It literally
radiated a significant magnetic field at 60 Hz and RFI all the way up. A
Sony -- worst choice I ever made. I used to believe in them...
I just thought you went a bit too far in saying that you could also get rid
of powerline RFI this way -- my response would be, only if it isn't being
received by your antennas!
