Interesting.  My rcv array is probably 500 ft from the Xmit antenna or any antenna so I am probably ok?  My 70ft tower is 70ish feet from the 160 inverted l.  I wonder if there is much to be gained by attempting to detune the tower.

500 feet is only 1 wavelength on top band.
Interaction is entirely possible at that distance.
Two verticals spaced 1/2 wavelength is a commonly
used directional array design.
