Depends on what you mean by "giving off interference". In my experience,
most interference situations today involving HF are the result of a
perfectly clean fundamental HF signal being detected by an appliance or
other electronic device which should be rejecting such signals. There's
nothing you can do to your HF station to minimize that other than to
increase the separation between the HF antenna and the device experiencing
the interference (or reduce the transmitted power). Depending upon the
device in question, use of bypass caps on the AC line and/or ferrite chokes
on the line cord and other external leads MAY provide relief. It's
certainly possible that feedline radiation is contributing to the problem
and in that case judicious use of a balun and proper grounding may provide
some relief.

Hi

was wondering if their was anything that could be done (antenna/feedline
wise) to reduce chances of giving off interference from any type of
wire antennas

such as for ex a center fed coax fed dipole i'll use a 1:1balun at
the end, try to make dipole resonant

i believe the coax run should also be within 1/2wave or so

(everying at radio end is ok , good grounds ,tuner etc)

any tips??


ok i follow all this , didn't think about putting ferrite onto pwr
line but good idea

anyone know a place to get some clamp on ? or other ac chokes/ferrites
at good price , ? radio shack isnt the best
