[TowerTalk] Wind generators/towers and antennas

I am in the midst of designing a new station for KH6 and it appears I may  be 
putting up some Rohn 55 as a support for a wind generator to provide  
electric.
 
It certainly would be a shame to let a good 60-90 foot of tower be wasted  on 
just that and the thought occurred to me that the tower could be  used as a 
support for wire antennas as well as possibly side-mounted  Yagis.
 
Has anyone had experience with mounting antennas on the same tower as wind  
generators?  If so, what was the experience with RFI on the antennas?   And if 
not on the same tower, has anyone had experience mounting antennas  anywhere 
near the wind generator and what, if any RFI was noticed?
 
KH6 law restricts hams to one 90 foot tower and it would be nice to have  
another sky hook up for inverted-vees/guy wires.
