Anyone have an idea as to how much the radiation pattern will be altered

Hi Gary

Not so much that you would notice. It might upset tuning, but even
there it is a toss up. About the only screw up would be that the
lower element goes to the coax center conductor, and your coax shield
makes contact with it while both drop in vicinity.
