Conductors in the near field will always interact with the field to decrease the strength of the signal radiated from the antenna 

Conductors in the near field will always interact with the field to increase the strength of the signal radiated from the antenna

Conductors in the near field will interact with the field to add or subtract intensity, resulting in areas of varying field strength

Conductors that are not part of the actual antenna will have no effect on the field strength
