Hi, I am still working on mine. My main problem is that I have yet to find a source of ferrites that are big enough to thread cables with connectors through (the snap-on ones are totally useless) and effective on HF. I have borrowed ferrites from the kits we have at work but they are only moderately effective below 30MHz (regulatory requirements are more severe at VHF so companies tend to focus on that). My "birdies" are definitely picked up by my antennas. When I switch to the dummy load, it's mostly dead quite although my MFJ tuner/switch/dummyload is not extremely well shielded. I am convinced that most of the radiation from the router is through the AC power house wiring. I say that because I do not have that much Ethernet cabling beyond the immediate vicinity of the router and the computer cluster close to it. The "birdies" are also worst on the antennas that are parallel with the long axis of the house - not unexpected if the AC wiring is the main radiator.
