I recently had a 16 kw natural gas fired Generac Guardian installed at
my house. It took almost a year for all the parts to arrive.

The single point entry for antennas at my house is right behind the
generator. I did not notice any major RFI when it was running, or when
it's idle. My major concern was the battery charger.  So far I have
not noticed any more noise than usual, but I am not in a radio quiet
zone or anything. I do tune using an SDR on a large screen where I can
see the whole band at once, and noise (especially something close like
that) would for sure show up.
