*shrug* I work for a TV station whose transmitter was at the same location as 
the offices and studios (we *just* moved thanx to new ownership. ) The new 
owners strung UTP along the hallways to a hub and from there to a network 
printer. We never had any problems with RF into or from the LAN.

I'd suggest you pop over to the Broadcast echo and check with them about 
whether this would be a problem...I'll forward a copy there...maybe someone 
there can KNOWLEDGEABLY comment on your unique problem... :)
