[RFI] KY filters?

Hi folks,

I recently discovered my HF transmissions have been getting into my phone 
answering machine.   I asked one of my neighbors and he told me he could 
hear me on his phone but it wasn't that big a deal.   (These are really good 
neighbors).  I got back on HF about 2 years ago.  Because we have been 
living next to each other for 10 years and they are such great people 
(ex-active duty Marines, no antenna complaints, Harley riders--how could 
anyone not like these people?) I am taking the unusual step of getting them 
some phone line filters.  I wanted to get a good one because I run QRO so I 
picked up two KY filters.  Has anyone used them?  What were your results 
with them?  They are a little more than run of the mill filters cost but I 
figured I could afford a couple of them for this one case.  Unfortunately 
part of their phone line runs along outside parallel to part of my 
horizontal loop which I put up a few weeks go.  I shouldn't be surprised 
that they are hearing me when I fire up the amp.  Just curious about other 
folks results with the KYs.

Tnx,
Rob Atkinson
