I haven't seen anyone mention ferrite chokes. 1 turn through 73 material
binocular cores or beads should fix that, from 160m through HF. Place them
as close as possible to the GFCI.

Are the offending GFCI circuit breakers Eaton brand? They are known to trip
from HF transmissions and it is reported that Eaton will supply "HAM"
circuit breakers at no cost. I can post Eaton contact info. Some people
have simply replaced the offending GFCI with standard circuit breakers.
73,
GFI breakers can be finicky. If a GFI is really needed try a different brand
breaker.

Darrell, I suspect you would find better response on r...@contesting.com,

Has anyone had a similar experience and located an RFI resistant GFI breaker?
