Someone on the list suggested we post a summary of private responses to us as

I'd have a fully automatic generator in a second IF we had propane or natural
gas available.
However, the addition of suitable tanks and piping, which MUST be installed
"professionally", would be well over the cost of the generator itself.

FWIW, I have a 16 KW Generac propane generator. It uses load-shedding
modules with an automatic transfer switch, so that if my load exceeds
capacity the 240-VAC loads will be shed one at a time. I figure the
chances of my simultaneously running the dryer, the oven, the AC and my
amplifier are
I have a Kohler 8 kw unit on a whole house automatic transfer switch that
runs on propane, No A/C so 8 kW supplies the whole house just fine. I've
measured its output at 4% THD using a Fluke power quality meter with or
without load. Seems to fit the ticket.

It's worth thinking about your needs first. Key questions are"
1) What loads do I need to run from it? Get hard numbers, including

I found that Generac has a series of egens they call the 'Synergy'

I suspect a fair number of us are interested, as long as we can keep to
the (reasonable) OT limits.
Friends have Generac units, not "low distortion" and report good results.
Since most of the ham gear I've owned takes 110v, rectifies, filters and
regulates it, I'm not sure we need to worry abo
uel/RPM to load. Less load less fuel used. OH
well.
