[TowerTalk] Mixing ham and commercial antennas

I've been talking with someone about placing a commercial paging antenna 
(931 MHz) on one of my towers.  I'm looking for specific suggestions for 
things to watch out for regarding their RFI potential - me to them and vice 
versa.  I'd like to minimize any problems before we get started - anyone 
with some direct experience?

Most of my operating is 160-10m but I do have 50, 144(packet) and 
430(packet).  One tower being considered has 40m/10m beams plus one 430 
antenna and my 160m 4-square around it.  The other has 20m beams plus my 80m 
4-square.   Only one of my Beverages comes close to either tower (about 30' 
away).

Please respond direct and I'll summarize for the group.
