Some things to try:
1. Change the monitor refresh rate. This won't stop the radiation but
it may move it to a frequency that does not interfere.
2. How far is the antenna from the monitor? Can you move it farther?
3. Get a flat panel type monitor. This is generally the best
solution, unfortunately. ($$$)
