You pose an interesting question.
One antenna (your transmitting/receiving antenna) is vertically polarized; the tv antenna is horizontally polarized. Normally, a ground plane is formed by wires running away from a vertical antenna - or - a mesh of wire extending away from the antenna. Since neither exist, I suspect you would have little coupling to the tv antenna. The horizontal elements are so short that I doubt any directly beneath the vertical would have an effect and the boom might have a small effect, but only in the directions that it is running beneath the vertical. I'm not saying there is no effect; I am of the belief that any effect would be exceedingly small (with a possible exception of a small change in the radiation pattern in the direction (both ends) of the tv antenna. The best solution is to convince your wife that you need an 8 element rotatable cross-polarized lightning deflector mounted on top of a 120 foot tower )(can we spell 'Yagi'?) LOL (why do I see a number of the group planning to try and convince their wives that they need a similar 'lightning deflector'?) 73 from Rochester, NY Jim |
