[TowerTalk] Radio location in relation to antenna

    I am considering moving my radio gear out of the lower level of 
my house to the upper level.  My reason is that I can convert a 
couple of 30 amp circuts over to 220V I had installed to run my 
computer gear when I first started my company.  I don't need them 
anymore.

    The new location would put my gear about 15 feet under the roof 
mount antenna I have just installed.  I also have a couple of dipoles 
layed across this section of the roof as well.  I would be running an 
amp rated at 1.5kw if I decide to relocate and fire up a 220V circut.

    So what kind of RF problems would or could I be setting myself 
up to experience? Would the proximity to the antenna pose a 
problem? What should I consider if I do this? Should I maintain a 
larger distance(55 feet now) from my antenna's such as I have 
now?  What precautions, RF wise, should I be considering?  Will I 
glow in the dark? :)

Any feedback or comments would be most appreciated.
