Popeye - its a great handle. I'm an ex-Navy (Annapolis) guy too, a little rusty...I never got a nickname, I just got into a lot of trouble...(I was a dumb kid).
I was warned about that noise issue by Shakespeare and I'm rethinking my deployment...My radio would be "shielded" -- surrounded on all but one side by aluminum plate -- so I wonder if this "farraday cage" would or would not minimize interference.
