Ken:
My neighbor at the end of my block installed one of these things a couple
of years ago. While the tech was on-site cutting a slit in the neighbor's
driveway for the wire, I asked him what frequency it worked on. He said it was
a couple of milliwatts on 16 kHz or so. I waited until the tech was gone and
the neighbor's dog sat peacefully in the front yard befoe I tuned my receiver
to listen for hash, etc. on the Ham bands. Nada. I even walked past the house
listening to a portable AM radio - same nada.
So unless the transmitter is defective, you should be ok regarding
potential QRN.

A couple of watts on 500kc, at 3am, might be fun.
