[CQ-Contest] dsl rf filter

[N6KI Dennis Vernacchia]

I am using -31 mix Ferrite on all my DSL connections and seems to work 
fine to stop RFI

Mouser Electronics has some FAIR-RITE snap on ones that also may snap on 
RG-213 coax
tightly in case you also want to build current Baluns

Mouser Part #:, 623-*0431167281  less than $2 ea*


Also 2.4 inch Donuts from DEXTER MAGNETIC TECHNOLOGIES
800/775-3829 877/221-5052

Fair Rite Part Number 2631626402

I have been buying these at $3 in 100 quantity but
see what they are in small QTY


73, Dennis N6KI
