[CQ-Contest] Inverter generators

[Eric M. Guzman]

Hi.

I had RFI issues with an EU2000 some years ago. Built a filter by winding a 
12 or 15ft AC extension cord around a big toroid and that fixed it.

Few years later, purchased a Honeywell 1000w and had the same RFI issue.  
Since I found that during the return period, I opted to return it. Then 
purchased a EU1000 and I have no issues with RFI on this one. Love to 
operate portable with it. Also use it as a backup for my solar powered station.

Hope this helps.
