Five miles away is not as close as you are thinking.
I had a friend only 1 mile away tops and he would give me buckshot for
only about 10KHz either side of his frequency. He ran a small sweep time
amp and pointed at me unbostrusted for every QSO to Europe.
Another friend at 4 miles had a 6 element beam and a 2 hole Alpha,
operated in every DX pileup around and also never bothered me more than
20KHz. He ran his processor wide open all the time.
Neither ever created a problem.
