Topband: RFI tripping GFI breaker on 160m

[Dave Cuthbert]

Are the offending GFCI circuit breakers Eaton brand? They are known to trip
from HF transmissions and it is reported that Eaton will supply "HAM"
circuit breakers at no cost. I can post  Eaton contact info. Some people
have simply replaced the offending GFCI with standard circuit breakers.
