[RFI] Re-wiring station

[Chuck Gooden]

Bob,

Thanks for the info.   I did read K9YC documents which I found quite 
informative but the question on how many turns really was not 
specified.  I was hope someone could point to a study that might relate 
the number of twist to effectiveness at different frequencies or 
conditions.  I searched google but have found one yet, but I do know 
twisted pairs work very well.  It is interesting to note that each pair 
of wires in a CAT5/6 ethernet cable has a different number of turns to 
prevent cross talk between pairs.  Therefore some one must of figured 
this out.
