This is a low-power contest, and so I was running just 100w into co-ax fed antennas 100 metres from the house at 1.1:1 VSWR. The station here as been bomb-proof for years at full power. But I'll have a look around to see if there is any problem of that sort. </span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span><br></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);

<div><br></div><div style="">I'm betting on RFI though. All it takes is one weak coax connector that arcs, or static discharge from a wool sweater to cause a keyboard to hang, depending on the hardware and how well it is shielded and grounded.</div>
