I was surprised that I _didn't_ have any RF problems although I'm only
running 100Watt.  The vertical/inv L/long wire for the LF bands comes
into the shack where the ATU is although I have the advantage of being
at ground level (outside shed!).  The 2590 has quite a high level of
output so I can damp the mic input with a fairly low resistor which
helps.
