I'm running a Medtronic unit and I don't even know it's there except for
the little bump on my chest. I run 1.5 kw most mornings on 80 and 40 M
CW. My Butternut HF-2V is about 75 feet from the shack.

Sorry about this but it may affect many of us eventually.
Yesterday I went for a stress test and got some bad results. I have a left
bundle block and they want to me to have a pacemaker implanted ASAP.
Obviously this is distressful as I've been in excellent health for my 68 years
and now this:(
One of my first thoughts was are pacemakers prone to RFI? I asked the surgeon
about this and he said he'd never heard of this before in his practice.
I'm wondering if any of the readers here have had any experience with
pacemakers/RFI issues? I know over the years I've seen references to it in an
offhand way but didn't pay much attention as it didn't apply to myself at the
time.
My beam is only 20-25' directly above me, as can be seen on my qrz page.
Any thoughts/experiences?
