Alen,  If you can not use Beverages or loops to help you slice out of the
noise sources perhaps the only way is to do a remote control transmitter set
up via internet, VPN, or dial in modem. The dial in is fine since you don't
need much bandwidth. Nor is latency a big deal since you are not feeding back
audio. A few ms in the CW monitoring you will get use to...or just don't
monitor the TX sig while sending.

There is plenty of great radio remote control software available today. The
nice thing about this solution is that you can stay home close to the kitchen
and a warm bed.
