[TenTec] Orion Mic Woe's

[Mike Brown]

In cases like this, where one antenna causes RFI problems, and another one 
doesn't, antenna location is more then likely the problem then anything 
else.I've often wondered when feedline radiation is blamed as  a source for 
RFI, is this really the case, or is this simply a matter of having an 
antenna too close to a transmitter.
