I started to play a little bit in the CQ WPX (SSB) contest this past weekend (March 30-31 2024) using the 10m antenna in the attic over the garage. There was a decent amount of activity on the band, mostly from the Caribbean and South America, with a smattering of European stations.
I had logged 6 contacts when I learned that I was making the light on the garage door opener turn on and off.
I’ll have to find some ferrites to put on the wires going into the garage door opener to see if that helps.
