I predict it will change the pattern, change the input impedance and
probably otherwise work well. Sometimes you have to get along with
what you have rather than what you want. Modern rigs like to see 50
ohms, so plan on using something to match your transmission line and
go for it.

Guy. My best option is to install a G5VR but having one half bend back 90
degrees horizontally so that when you look down from the top it is L shaped.
My question is, will this degrade performance very much and in what way.
Many thanks and regards,
