[RFI] RF getting into 4-port wireless router - progress

[Kenneth G. Gordon]

OK, Gang, two things have changed since I removed and rolled up the 30+ 
feet of #8 useless ground wire to the panel:

1) The lights in the shack no longer change brightness in time with the 
keying of my rig and amp. It was very slight, despite the fact that I had 
the amp on a dedicated 120 V line, but it was there. Now it is no longer 
in evidence. Zero: zip: nada.

2) It appears that I am no longer getting into my 4 port wireless router.

3) There is no more "weirdness" with the basement GFCI.

There MAY be an additional effect:

4) It is POSSIBLE that my overall noise level, which has been a constant 
10 dB over S-9 on 80 meters, is now only S-9. I find this last to be 
particularly hard for me to believe, but it sure looks like it is a fact.

Now, the larger question: if this is so...WHY is it so? I am more 
mystified than I was to begin with...

And, BTW, the ONLY thing I have done so far is deal with that useless 
panel ground wire.

I also suspect that what I had thought was the lights dimming in time 
with my keying was exactly the opposite: they were getting brighter with 
my keying.

I am going to go buy another 4 ea 8' ground rods tomorrow...

I now have just loads of #8 solid copper with which to tie them all 
together. :-)
