 Sure....set the wifes computer up inside a shielded enclosure taking care 
of putting chokes on any entry cable. If you want to try this for a test and 
if you don't have a tanning enclosure in your house, just put the Mac inside 
your oven  (not on of course)and see if the interference is gone before you 
build a "clean" room for that noise radiating MAC.
Sounds crazy I know but 160 meter DX is important enough for solutions, 
even weird ones to be considered..
