hello reflectees !
The issue of coupling between beverages and nearby vertical radiators is an old 
one. Although it seems logical that there is coupling, i have conducted 
experiments and found that the amount must be pretty small.
I have three bevs towards USA that run 
a. 10 feet north of a phased tx array  WNW
b. 50 ft  north of a phased tx array   NNW
c. 100 ft south of a phased TX array   W

The noise on the very close bev to the tx array is not more than on the other 
beverages farther away.Well, this is strictly empiric evidence, but i guess it 
helps to quantify the "problem".
