[Elecraft] Six meter birdies

[W0FK]

Wes, try it with a 6M antenna attached. I have found with a number of 6M rigs
over the years that absent an external 6M antenna (or one not properly
connected, i.e. a loose PL259), I hear all kinds of birdies on 6M. I have
the same situation with my 2M rig. Once the antenna is connected however,
the birdies are gone. My hypothesis is that absent an outside antenna, the
rig is picking up something from my nearby computer.

Not sure that will help, but it's worth a shot.

73,

Lou, W0FK
