We feed our wireless ISP system with 6 each, Gig E fiber connections at

This subject has been discussed here plenty of times in the past, and the
consensus has always been that trees and other foliage near a 160m antenna
has a negligible effect on the transmitted signal. That's what I have
believed for some time.
This was discussed last month at

Interesting study which suggests not placing a 160m vertical closer than 12' to
a tree, if feasible. There are certainly lots of vertical radiators working
well amongst towers. We won FD 4 years in a row using 5 watts to a random
vertical wire hoisted up the aluminum mast of a sailboat amongst

Without doubt foliage has measurable effects on the antenna when it is
close to a voltage
point (speaking from experience with loops), so Carl's findings make good
sense.
