hi all....

It's 3 am and WE9V, N0BSH and I (WX9E) just got back and are pretty drunk
 (ok  ok....   very drunk)........  we went to just about every bar in
LaCrosse and had a great time.     I'm happy to report that got home all
right, WE9V was the designated driver, and that the only one who got carded
was Scotty!!!!   And that was by a couple of cops who came in that were
younger than he was!!!!!   we had a great discussion about our strategy in
the NAQP "CONTEST" coming up in a few hours.   Babes were all right
too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


73,

us and scotty

I had an almost identical problem here, and to make a long story short, 
there were two causes:  First some of the RF-in-the-shack was coming in 
over the phone line (the phone and modem sit on top of the computer), so 
a phone filter and some ferrites fixed that, and second, I was using a 40 
meter dipole without a balun at the feed point.  That was just unbalanced 
enough to allow RF to get back into the shack on the outside of the 
coax.  The balun fixed that perfectly.  Finally after much experimenting 
and frustration, I can operate all bands at 1kw with no problems.  

Hope this helps.
