Hi,
I hooked up my Swan Linear to my OMNI-VI and had some RF in the shack when
using my Windom antenna which I cured by installing a couple of 1:1 baluns
in the coax feed line, but I still have one problem I haven't solved
yet. When I transmit, the upstairs bathroom Ground Fault Isolator trips,
probably on RF. The antenna is about 15 ft from the GFI, so the wires
going to the GFI may be picking up the RF directly from the antenna. On my
vertical which is about 30 ft from the GFI, there are no RF problems. Has
anyone had this problem, and what did you do to eliminate it? I must be
somewhat common because I was talking to a local ham who had and still has
the same problem. I was thinking about installing some .001 ufd caps
across the wires in the bathroom wall coming into the GFI receptacle. I
don't know if that would do the job or make it worse.
TNX for the bandwidth
