[Elecraft] Interference from Computers

[Leigh L Klotz, Jr.]

There is a discussion about Ethernet carriers going on on RFI list at 
Contesting.  I am about to try using 10 mbit multimode fiber, which 
though slow, is fast enough for external links, which are the longest 
runs.  Using shielded cat5 for the short runs of 100MBit Ethernet seems 
to help those, though some radiation occurs from the router and hub and 
switch boxes, and their infernal switching power supplies.
