RIGHT! The first antennas I rigged when I moved in here 14 years ago were multiple high coax-fed dipoles for 160-10 and a Tee vertical for 160M. The vertical wasn't working as well as I thought it should. It occurred to me that the coax feedlines might be interacting with it, so I added ferrite chokes to the coax feedlines. Sure enough, the vertical worked much better.

Don't discount the participation of other wires, antennas or metals in the area.  Everything in the near field will participate to some extent which is why deep modeled nulls seen are often hard to see at anywhere the depth one may expect based on model observations.
