Being a Dinosauer, when I contest from home (unassisted) I
Disconnect all cable TV/internet/phone entries to the house.
 Switch off mains to most parts of my house including the livingroom, 
killing electric power to all possible wall-warts, routers, TV, radio, 
kitchen appliences, clocks, lighting etc..
This lower the noise on my nearby RX antennas by just over 1 dB.
 For 48 hours I am alone in my shack, which is powered separately, 
enjoying radio.
 The pizza-boy always wonders IF someone is at home at all.... (doorbell 
is on batteries and re-routed to the shack)

Imagine that - ham-radio contesters who don't connect to the
internet.  They must be dinosaurs :-)
