VHF/UHF antennas are much more likely to be affected, by ANYTHING in the near field of the antenna. Wet Trees, are very bad, the higher in Frequency you go.
HF antennas are much less likely to be effected by non-Conducting, and non-Resonte things in their near field. The lower the Frequency the less effected they are.

I thought all of that, but thought that the fiberglass tube outside the wire would negate the affects of anything.. Learn something new all the time...
