I'm not an RF guy, but I've been told that any frequency that divides into the frequency you are using evenly has the potential to interfere. For example, if you are using 900MHz, then 450MHz, which divides into 900MHz evenly could interfere. Same for 150MHz. Dave - Original Message

I personally don't think its the RF that attracts them. I have been on many towers and tanks with no antennas mounted and still have to deal with my little friends. Personally I think its the heat that the metal draws from the sun and the static electricity present on the face of the steel.
