[Elecraft] Heil Proset Quiet Phone

[Iain MacDonnell - K6IAM]

If your shack is quiet, you probably wouldn't get much benefit
from the quiet phone, IMO. Where I noticed it to be most effective
was at field day, where it really took out the drone of the generators
that were a wee bit too close to our operating position for a while.
I've been told it can be quiet effective in multi-op contesting
environments too.

The other thing to be aware of is that the quiet phone is notoriously
susceptible to RFI when active - read the eham reviews...
