[UK-CONTEST] Bombproof Telephone?

[Mike Farmer]

Hi Dave

Until I moved into this house I found the Freestyle 500 OK but since I put
up better LF aes the XYL tells me that sometimes she can hear something.
Despite being the XYL for over 45 years I nearly trust her as she is also
G7BSP! so it is probably me.  I am about to try ferrite rings on the leads.

I also have a near neighbour (not the closest!) who told me that he could
hear me during the AFS!! Like you say there's nothing like a contest for
flushing out EMC problems! I'd like to get him a bomb proof one!

73 de Mike
