[TenTec] GFCI problem when running high power

[James C. Owen, III]

Hi John,
   If you can make your antenna resonate on 40M (about 63') your
problem might go away. Just make a temp one using coax and see
what happens. I have a similar problem on 75M but it's due to the
antenna being too close to the RF sensitive devices. My motion
light's outside go on with over 25 watts and over 10 watts  shuts
down the modem on this computer but not on the laptop. Antenna
though is only about 5' from the lights and about 10-12' from the
computer.
