[Boatanchors] QRM

[Al Parker]

Hi Larry,
    I agree with Glenn.   I had a similar problem, chased it down to the
computer monitor, without any doubt.  Bought a new flat-screen monitor &
solved it. (nicer viewing, too.)  Same 65+- kc spacing.  It had one
sitting on 14.300 net freq., and I did at least move them some by changing
the refresh rate of the monitor.
    I did put a small sniffer coil on the end of a long length of coax, it
was worst at the upper right corner of the screen.  Tried shielding, &
ferrite cores on leads, etc., no help.
