I believe antenna feedlines can be a source of rfi.The radiation from
an antenna should be much greater than any feeder radiation_why the
emphasis on feeder radiation? 73 de ZL2DG

Because feeders often pass near consumer electronics.

If the feeder has no antenna currents on it (like my feeder years ago when
I had a vertical 250 feet out from the house), then the antenna, while
radiating much more than the feedline is far enough away that the inverse
square law protects the consumer electronics.

Of course this depends on antenna placement.
