[Elecraft] RFI issues

[Lyn Norstad]

Well, Jim - 

If you're going to quote someone, bear in mind that editing what they said
out of context might change the meaning of what they said (you've probably
heard of the C.O.M.A. process used in Bible study).

I said two things:

1) I've had several of the inexpensive Keurig Pod type, and have never had
an issue on any band.

and ...

2) Kitchen is right next door to the shack, and the pot is on all day.

#1 is a response to the RFI issue, but ...

#2 is an indicator that I need to have coffee nearby both for myself and for
others who may be visiting my shack. Stop over the next time you're in
Chicago.

PS - FWIW, the nearest point of the antenna is probably 50 feet from the
coffee pot.  In Chicagoland, all wiring must be in conduits, and both the
kitchen and the shack are on their own circuits.  In fact, the only 'home
grown' RFI I am aware of is 1 out of 4 identical HP 24" LED monitors that
puts out a steady carrier on 30 meters.

What matters is distance to antennas, not the shack. The nature of 
electrical wiring in your home also matters, because it's that wiring 
that radiates any noise produced.
