[SCCC] U-Verse and RFI

[Art - W6KY]

ATT has quit new installations of DSL, at least in San Marcos.
I am hanging on to my DSL as my only alternative is
nothing... The homes in this neighborhood are not qualified
for U-Verse.....I kill my DSL with 100 watts. Figure 1500 watts would let
all the smoke out of my DSL modem.....

Are any of you Rabid Aavid contesters using U-Verse and solved the I'll
effects if getting your receiver thrashed plus possibly knocking your
internet off-air when you transmit 1500 watts and antennas are too close to
the unit.

In the past, most hams I communicated with just gave up and got rid of
U-Verse but I don't have that option at the site which has only crappy slow
ATT DSL with lots of dropouts and bad latency at times when trying to
Remote into site.

I heard rumor that there are now several U-Verse modems to choose from but
not sure one can just pick what they want.

If the modem was put into a good Faraday shield and Type 31 mix large donut
ferrites were used on all leads going to from modem, right at the Faraday
shield, will that solve the U-Verse  RFI issues ?
