I have examined the RFI situation at some local apartment-bound ops on 40M and I swear when they work into their loop that it is their apartment wiring that is radiating, and not the loop antenna. It's gotta be worse on 160M.
A guest op at a local contest superstation reported how hard it was to work DX the first morning on the high bands, then went to check out the antenna switching after a local with just a wire (aka me) was working the DX before him. He found out that all the QSO's he had that morning up to that point had been worked with a Heathkit Cantenna dummy load :-). Yes, it is very possible to work stations just using a Cantenna! (Possibly circa 30-40 dB down leaking into the beam, but I'm guessing feedline radiation can be similar too.)
