Most likely hinder. Anything around the antenna that conducts electricity will change the electrical characteristics of the antenna. I'd suggest you keep the antenna 3' away from any wires or metal objects. Even the human body will couple to an antenna - we're full of salty water and conduct electricity rather well.
