[RFI] Low noise generators?

[Alan NV8A (ex. AB2OS)]

We (Holland [MI] Amateur Radio Club) used a couple of Honda EU1000i 
generators for last FD (courtesy of the Red Cross). RF noise level 
seemed OK.

BUT a whiel back I read a suggestion (on the "Grounding versus Bonding" 
forum at http://www.mikeholt.com/cgi-bin/codeforum/ultimatebb.cgi -- but 
they don't want to talk to "mere mortals," only to "professional" 
electricians, inspectors, etc. -- that these Honda generators violate 
the NEC and should be condemned.
