[Elecraft] Running high power

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

Al, you really should take this question to the RFI at contesting.com 
reflector - there is a huge amount of experience--based information 
there from a number of RFI mavens. One of the most energetic and 
prolific is K9YC, who has written a number of very detailed papers on 
various aspects of RFI that are available on the web.  Google will find 
them for you - a good place to start is

In answer to your question, most everyone has these issues to a larger 
or smaller degree. It probably makes best sense to start by making sure 
your station itself has proper bonding, grounding, and filtering as 
required.  Then go on and look at each of the devices being interfered 
with, and apply similar methods.
