Jeff,
I'll bet it isn't the Six Pack. Do you already have a current choke at the
base of the 160 inverted L? If not, I'll bet that helps quite a bit. I was
getting lots of RFI on my very first 160 4SQR until I put good (meaning
rated down to 160) current chokes on each element. Cleaned everything up
just great. If you already have a current choke at the base of the L, more
radials or re-orienting the radials away from coax runs might help. I wish
I could explain it with 72 calculus equations like ON4UN does but I'm just
an appliance operator and use the "change it till it works" method. ;-)
Good luck!

I'm getting some RFI into my WX0B Six Pack when only transmitting on my
Inverted L for 160 meters. It doesn't do it on any other band that I have
connected to the antenna switch. It lights up all the LED's on the control
box when I transmit. I have put several snap-on ferrite beads (the kind DX
Engineering sells) in several places on both control lines to the outside
box but it doesn't seem to help. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Jeff
