This maybe an old question that’s been answered before.  Today I finally set up my HF radio after moving to The Villages 1 1/2 years ago.  I installed an end fed antenna inside the attic at the peak and ran the coax to a bedroom.  I got the radio Kenwood TS2000 set up with my Laptop and tried to answer a CQ on FT8.  First time I tripped two circuit breakers.  Reset those and tried again. This time I trip about 5 circuit breakers.  I remember something I read before that this can happen with some types of circuit breakers.  These were not GFI circuit breakers.  Any ideas?  This home was built in 2013 in Pinellas.  Do I need to change the circuit breakers or is these excessive RF in the house?

Thanks
