My 40 m reson. iv used to be completely horizontal at 30 ft.

I had to bend one end (while leaving the other horizontal) at
about a 45 deg angle to about 10 ft above the ground.

The SWR seems to be higher. 1.5:1 at its lowest. I can't remember
what it was before but I know it wasn't this high.

Will this cause an efficiency problem or any other?????
