Ash,
The answer is "as far as necessary"! There seems to be a lot of variation in
the degree of interaction with towers and other antennas. Every QTH is
different.
I suppose 100 feet is a good starting distance. The minimum I've installed the
loops at my own QTH is 75 ft from an Inv-L. Had no problem, but I think the
Inv-L was at least partly detuned during receive by the T/R switch open circuit
and length of coax.
Just try it, then be prepared to do some investigation if it doesn't work out.
And yes, trees are not a problem.

Hi All,
How far should a K9AY be spaced from resonant antenna? I presume there is
no impact from nearby trees.
Please advise.
