[RFI] GFCI

[Phil Snyder]

  I had to go to the Menards for a couple of things today so I slipped 
into the electrical dept and picked up a new GFCI on a whim. I installed 
it and so far on 30 meters it doesn't act up. Of course I haven't had a 
chance to check out any other bands yet so hopefully it won't be a 
problem somewhere else although I don't think it will be.

Thanks to all
Phil
