The question is probably how close they are to the antennas. In my setup, the USB stick was pasically left on the plants leaves, the plant acted as a scaffold for it. And it maybe I wasn't clear enough - the whole plant didn't die, just the exact spot when the USB stick was touching the leaves.

I don't think it could have been any more than a fluke in your case. If there was some correlation between the two, somebody else would have found it, and we'd all probably be keeping our distance from the things. It's far more likely that the pressure from the antenna resting on the leaf caused the damage, or a lack of photosynthesis caused the area to yellow.
