And if he gives you the operating parameters of the station, then you can 
plug them into the web-based RF exposure calculator (U of TX?) and see how 
the numbers compare with the FCC's exposure rules.  That will take care of 
safety -- the FCC numbers are extremely conservative, particularly given 
that no deleterious effects from incidental exposure have been established 
(I'm not talking about looking down a radar waveguide!).

As for intermod, etc., as Steve says, take some stuff up there and listen.
