[Elecraft] OT Powerline Wifi extenders

[Victor Rosenthal 4X6GP]

I have a similar situation. I have a pair of powerline extenders, and I 
was unable to detect QRM from them on 40-10m. My antenna is not that far 
from the building, either.
But from time to time, I lose my connection and have to disconnect and 
reconnect to get it back. Sometimes it can be quite annoying! It does 
not seem to happen only when I transmit, so I don't think it is picking 
up my signal. They are Zyxels.
