N6RO had one on his property, and it generated massive birdies on the HF 
bands. He got rid of it.  As far as I know, they had no problems with 
his big station (six towers, multi-op).

That's only one case I know of.  Something to consider is that no one 
pays any attention to trash on the HF bands when they're testing for 
emissions compliance, or if they do, they don't test with the wires 
attached that radiate the trash.

One test that you could certainly do is put an HF rig in a mobile (or 
borrow a friend's mobile for a day) and see what you hear over there.
