[CQ-Contest] [RTTY] Radio interference problem

[ke4qok@bellsouth.net]

Have you tried wrapping the monitor cable with foil.  Not all video cables are created equal.  If this does not help try wrapping the monitor making sure to slit the or punch the foil for all of the vent/cooling holes in the case.  A pencil will work well for opening up the vents.

> I am receiving interference from my computer monitor mainly in the 20 meter band that almost obliterates the PSK-31/RTTY section of the band. I have tried the available chokes from Radio Shack with no improvement. This interference also effects 15meters slightly. No problems with 40 or 80 meters.
