This is looking to me like a non-issue, but YES we all agree that the next step, when time permits, will be to take the setup to a remote area with very little RF.
That seems like an extreme & expensive step. I think that increasing the power output or using a Faraday cage will suffice.
But if you are looking for radio silence, go to the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Banks, WV. This has "been designated a National Radio Quiet Zone" . . . "the only one of its kind in the world" for the benefit of the Green Banks Telescope. Go there, but don't go too close, or the roving ranger in charge of enforcing radio silence will find you. He once found a heating pad in a doghouse that hat a small short circuit. Solution: he bought a replacement heating pad for the owners (an elderly couple and their dog -- I guess you could say the dog was the owner). Case closed.
