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

[Dave Cole]

Begin a notebook today!  Keep track of everything you do and say, be 
kind, and always get the name of people you talk to.  Keep track of the 
bands frequencies, times, signal levels etc in that notebook.  You may 
need the information later in the event you contact the ARRL/FCC for 
further action if needed.

If you have access to a cheap SDR dongle radio see:
www.nk7z.net
for an article on how to document your RFI in a fully repeatable way.

73s and thanks,
Dave

> OK...I just found an AT&T Uverse user forum that discuss this very thing, same symptoms as mine, with a ham participating.  If I am reading it correctly, they are saying that the bands that Uverse uses for multiplexing includes 160,80 & 40 frequencies.  One of the contributors said that AT&T eventually upgraded his equipment, including replacing some twisted-pair cables with CAT5 cables, and it solved the problem.  I am supposed to get a call Monday from an AT&T guy who is familiar with this.  But I would like input from my Elecraft ham buddies.
