RF is radiated by antennas, not transmitters (unless something is broken 
in your shack), so spacing to antennas is what matters. This would be a 
good time to check on the quality of all coax and coax connectors, 
making sure that none are JUNK or are poorly installed. All should be 
properly soldered and wrench tight. JUNK is defined as any coax 
connector that doesn't have Amphenol or a MIL-spec number stamped onto 
it. This also applies to adapters.

Last I heard, pacemakers were not susceptible to MF and HF. Read the 
info on the one you're getting.
