[Elecraft] RFI on K3s

[Vic Rosenthal]

Get some no. 10 stranded wire at Home Depot (etc.), double it over, put one end in a vise and the other in the chuck of your electric drill and twist away. Not shielded, but much better than parallel wires. I suppose you could strip some RG-8 if you really wanted to shield it.
