RF is radiated by antennas, not transmitters (unless something is broken in your shack), so spacing to antennas is what matters. This would be a good time to check on the quality of all coax and coax connectors, making sure that none are JUNK or are poorly installed. All should be properly soldered and wrench tight. JUNK is defined as any coax connector that doesn't have Amphenol or a MIL-spec number stamped onto it. This also applies to adapters.

Last I heard, pacemakers were not susceptible to MF and HF. Read the info on the one you're getting.
