Somehow it doesn't surprise me that Bitcoin mining hardware is generating harmful RF interference.

If I was a miner, I'd be quite worried that someone with direction finding equipment could easily discover a hidden mining location. The FCC or another government entity finding you is kind of the best case scenario if you think about it... :)

I have also thought about this. If you have a serious mining operation ($$$$$), you have armed security.
If the miner and PSU were better designed, the rig shouldn't radiate RF energy.
