[Elecraft] Interference from Computers-Routers

[tom.w3qs]

Hi Stuart, 

I have heard this so many times I think it has become 'general knowledge',
but I don't get it.  Say you have two power strips plugged into the same
wall outlet.  Surely the ground leads of both are then physically connected
inside that wall outlet.  Aren't the ground leads of both then physically
connected?

For that matter, all grounding leads are ultimately connected to the same
physical terminal on the house's power panel.  Again, I know there is
'conventional wisdom' that talks of 'two' 120 loops in a 240 house, but
still the ground leads are all connected - at least they are at my house.

What am I missing?

Part of good grounding, is to run a computer used with a radio from the same

power strip.   IF the computer is NOT used with radio, have it separated or 
on different power circuit.
