Do not connect to an antenna in the nearfield of a transmitting antenna?

Hi,
I'm busy with an amateur radio course. On Saturday our class has a "field trip" where we will make some HF contacts using a 100W HF transceiver working into a temporary antenna. I'm going to guess we'll use 40M.
I thought to take my RSP1 along and set it up with a longwire of some sort and perhaps show my fellow students what it can do.
But I see the warning about overloading the RSP1 with pickup from the local transmitter.
Do I need to worry about that? Should I rather leave my RSP1 at home?
Thanks,
Elbow
