Default Antenna wire proximity

I have an existing OCF 80m dipole already set up between two
trees (actually the socalled Carolina Windom from Radio
Works). I was planning to add a 540' sky wire (square) loop
to the farm. One leg of the loop would run approx. parallel
to the OCF 15-20+' away. I was not planning to use more than
one antenna at a time of course, but wondered if the presence
of a "nearby" wire might effect the operation of the (at the
time) operating antenna. A nearby wire is another metallic
object in the vacinity, what significant effect would this
have, if any?

Bill,
The proximity will distort the radiation pattern of
the antenna in use, slightly. If the loops is used on
80 meters, the OCF antenna will 'rob' a little signal,
and visa-versa. I don't know if I'd call it significant,
though, probably not...
