I think Mike has a point. In TV use, the messenger cable is isolated from the
signals
flowing thru the interior of the coax. For a Beverage antenna, it's the outside
of the
shield that picks up the signal. I don't know if the closely coupled messenger
wire
would have a detrimental effect or not.

I can imagine some installation scenarios where the messenger cable might
pick up noise that coax alone would not. But would that *always *occur? The
messenger cable is, after all, in the same location as the coax shield.
