1500W.  Shack is right below the antenna.  Analog connection to microHAM
MK2R+ sound card (others have commented they had similar problems keeping
RF out of this device).

Like many I listened before reading the text and wondering

Radio was in full QSK mode.  The K4 QSK is much faster than the K3, so you
hear much more band noise between elements.  Sidetone volume was low.  Band
noise was high.

No RFI into the radio, just into the recording device.  Recordings made by
the radio's sound card will have no RFI issues.  But SO2R recordings
require an external sound card.
