[UK-CONTEST] keyboards

[Don Beattie]

Peter,

I use a wireless keyboard/mouse in the office at home, and have had no 
problems from the local RF. I also use a wireless mouse in the shack, and 
there has been no problem there either.

However, in NFD, if you are using open-wire feeders to the ATU/RIG it may be 
a different matter. Everything is co-ax here, with a run of (at least) 50m 
to the antennas, so the real RF is a long way away. I know when I used 
open-wire on one field day the local RF excitation was so bad that it caused 
the rig synthesiser to go AWOL. But in general I think the 2.4 GHz systems 
are pretty bomb-proof, so you will probably be OK !
