[TowerTalk] cell phone antenna on ham tower?

[W5GN]

About 10 years ago, AT&T installed their rectangular antennas on 
the 125 foot Power Pylon in the easement behind the house,
and during the original install, swinging the OB16-3 8-el on 10 
beam thru the heading saw about a 5 db increase in hashy switching
noise on the IC756PRO scope. 

The tower is 400 feet away bearing 335 (JA is 318).

Last year more rectangular antennas were added at the top and 
the building at the base expanded, and now there is a 20 db increase,
which is more noticeable but still doesn't seriously inhibit working 
that direction, except for the very weak.

When I turn my antennas toward a cell tower about a mile away, I get a lot
of birdies on 6 and 10 meters.  I am not certain it is the cell tower, but
there is very little in between.
