[TRLog] CW keying cable problems???

[Clive Whelan]

David,

<< I have considered a shielded 2N2222A
or equivalent transistor. What is your suggestion? >>

Only solution is to keep the RF out of the shack in the first 
place, anything else will fail ultimately.

I have had, and occasionally do suffer the same problem, since I 
have tuned feeders in the shack as I have to make one piece of 
wire work on six bands ( 9 outside of contests!).

If you are doing the same, try locating the balun outside the 
shack and run coax into the tuner inside. otoh If you suffer 
that problem with flat lines, then you really  have a serious 
problem, and some fundamental re-engineering is called for.

Prevention not cure is the keynote I think.
