[Elecraft] OT: RFI problem on 80,40 with AT&T Uverse

[Mike Flowers]

I had similar RFI issues with AT&T Uverse equipment, both on RX and TX.  

I went with Comcast and have no RFI issues with them.  Nearly our entire
neighborhood is Comcast.   AT&T tried to deliver Uverse here via 50-year old
twisted pairs and it was a mess.
