[TowerTalk] Low RFI diesel generator?

My preference is propane and solar.  Propane because it doesn't eat and gum 
up carburators like the garbage ethanol laced gasoline available these days 
and solar because for the most part it is free (after installation of 
panels, etc).  For hot water I do passive solar using three old 50 gallon 
hot water tanks run in series inside a glazed box.  Caveat the solar parts 
of the above with the fact that I live just outside of San Antonio, TX which 
if you look at a map is about 200 miles south of even San Diego.  We get 
plenty of sun here for solar.
