[TenTec] Strange FD RFI

[Kim Elmore]

Both excellent ideas! I briefly thought about doing something like 
that, but (horrors!) there were no dummy loads to be had on site and 
I didn't want to go back home (again) to grab mine. I honestly never 
thought of putting the Corcom filter on the Yaesu rig. I have 
several, so maybe I should have lashed up two of them.

So, I decided to learn to live with the mystery and enjoy using the UPS.
