I tried out a new computer logging/contesting program (TLF which runs
on Linux) yesterday in the IARU contest.  I had a slight problem, as
R.F. (100 W) got into the keyboard every time I transmitted and either
caused the keybord to hang or typed random characters on the screen.  I
kept having to unplug the keyboard to reset it and then edit out all
the garbage between contacts.

I never have this problem running QRP!

After a while I gave up and went back to the paper log.  I guess it's
finally time to get a better antenna match and a good shack ground.
