[Elecraft] OT--RFI Issue

[John Fritze]

Make sure ALL of his cable drops are terminated at a piece of equipment or
are capped with a 70 ohm resister.  Any open ends of cable act as an
antenna.  This is the most common offender!   Make sure all splits go
through a cable splitter of correct impedance.  Make sure all cable
splitters are turned the correct direction. Time Warner installed one
backwards in my house causing poor TV reception.  Lastly, your cable
company has the option to "up" the signal strength at individual houses.
 Perhaps your neighbor's level is so low as to be a problem.

When I had my house remodeled several years ago the electrician thought is
was OK to simply twist the cable center conductors and shields together and
put wire nuts on them.  He did this in several spots.  Needless to say he
got an earful from me.
