Topband: Interaction between loop and beverage

[Harry Williams]

Thanks to everyone that replied to my question below. Answers ranged from no interaction to huge interaction the consensus seemed to be that there will be some problems. Since I do not use the loop to much anymore I think it comes down. I am more interested in the best performance possible from the beverage than trying to reach some sort of compromise. I plan on using one of KD9SV's products for antenna switching and front end protection so I was not to worried about that aspect but was most concerned with noise pickup in the beverage due to the interaction. Thanks again to all.

  I am putting up a 2 wire beverage. Part of it will run directly below a 160M
  full wave horizontal loop. The loop is about 25 ft above the beverage. Will 
  the loop degrade the performance of the beverage and if so how do I correct
  it short of taking down?
