LCD leads -- how long, how vulnerable?

We are using a small LCD in the electrically noisy environment surrounding my
radio control transmitter. The
idea is to clip the LCD to the transmitter's antenna, to put it at eye level, or
a little below, while the xmtr is
in use.
Or is this a really bad idea?
In my experience r/c transmitters are pretty noisy. If you put a broadcast
receiver next to a radio control
transmitter, you can usually hear quite a hum. (In fact this is a common r/c
troubleshooting field technique to
check for signal).
The leads to the LCD would necessarily be pretty long, maybe a couple of feet.
Is this going to work? Would a
coax help, or some other system of shielding? How robust is the signal from my
stamp to the LCD?
Thank you for your insights, Michael
