Default Antennas too close for comfort?

I'm planning on putting up a Diamond V2000 (6m,2m,70cm) on a side arm with
the apex of an inverted Vee HF dipole hanging underneath. The two rigs

these
antennas go to, overlap on two bands - 10m and 6m. With the antennas in

such
close proximity, is there any danger of one rig 'blowing out' the front

end
of the other?

If possible, stick a couple of back to back silicon diodes across the
begining of the receive path. This has proved adequate to protect commercial
receivers from 1kW transmissions on adjacent parallel antennas.
