Hi Paul - there has been a lengthy thread on these on the RFI reflector
(rfi@contesting.com) and the news appears to be pretty good. My personal
suspicion is that any addition to the general noise floor will probably be
small by comparison with all the other devices putting increasing amounts
of RF into the ether these days. If I bring a small portable radio within
about 3 feet of my stack of audio/video stuff - nothing exotic - it is
completely drowned in hash from switching power supplies, etc.
