Jason,
Connect a 30 ft. long piece of copper wire to the ground post of
the ORION and run it along the floor inside the house, wherever
you can. Doesn't matter if you have to zig-zag it. It will work
as a counterpoise and should remove the rf from the rig. Can't
predict what it will do for your XYL's mouse, though.
Gud Luk,
Rick

I should probably mention that on 40 meters my monitor gets a
little
brighter when I key up on CW and my wife's computer mouse goes
wild but
the dipole isn't very far away so the near-field effect is in
full force
on that band.
But even with these horrible RF conditions i'm in the internal
speaker
or headphones do not experience/create problems. The beads
eliminated
the problem for the external speaker.
