As others have noted, EVERY conductor is an antenna, and most computers and rigs are built with manufacturing/design defects that couple RF from attached cables inside the the box to cause problems.

Here is a tutorial on the topic, and an applications note for finding and killing RF noise. The same ferrite techniques for killing noise apply to killing RFI on cables in our stations.

And proper station bonding reduces RFI and solves other problems.

I suspected RFI, but was confused as to why only on 30 meters.  I do use chokes, but only on those cables connecting to antennas.  Thanks for the reply.
