He is running low power, and your stuff is pretty far away. I have spent a bunch of time hanging around multi transmitter HF contest sites and have never seen even misbehavior of VHF stuff never-mind damage. Your antennas are pretty small compared to your neighbors wavelengths, so coupling will be minimal, and rotors and controllers are well bypassed as they are designed to operate in high RF environments.
