It's critical to remember that THIS is what matters, not proximity to 
the shack. W6GJB's contesting trailer operates with two slaved 2000i 
generators on the back of his pickup, right underneath our antennas. We 
DO need the two-section #31 ferrite choke that we jointly designed for 
our operations in the remote (RF quiet) places in rare counties where we 
set up. That choke was added to the ARRL Handbook several years ago, and 
is shown on page 23 of http://k9yc.com/RFI-Ham.pdf

BTW -- it's been my experience that Tom hears quite well, on 160M at 
least. He hears me QRP during contests.
