You will if you do. :) It screams on LF and HF. I added several #31 
multi-turn clamp-ons to both AC cable and cable to the dish (flat 
rectangular panel). My probe is a vintage Kenwood TH-F6A talkie, which 
has wide-band RX that defaults to a loopstick below 10 MHz, with a 
software switch to the SMA. The RX is a block of wood below VHF, but 
it's a very effective noise probe.

20 years ago, when working on an AES Paper on RF susceptibility of pro 
condenser mics, I also learned that it's an effective RF injector if you 
key it on and off near a victim and moving along attached cables (the 
cables are RX antennas, where you inject varies current and voltage at 
the victim). TX is 2M, 220, and 440 MHz.
