Dan, you're (relatively) safe, but your household electronics may be in
danger G...
You might want to look at RF grounding, or try changing the lengths of your
dipole or the feedline (assuming it is coax?) . You might not fix all your
problems, but you can alleviate a lot of them. The rest comes down to
quality of design of the devices you're turning on...

I have a dipole in the attic tuned to around 14Mhz. Whenever I
transmit at full power, the laptop sitting next to my rig goes crazy
and the light in the next room turns on (its hooked up to a clapper).
When on 80 meters, if I transmit at full power and use my antenna
tuner to tune near perfect SWR, the treadmill in back of me turns on.
Is this normal? Should I worry about excessive radiation?
Thanks,
Dan
