How could this be made into an excellent 20m antenna? It will have very deep
nulls (30dB+) and super high SWR, plus likely high feedline loss.  A 32'
dipole would be a better antenna.

Fed and tuned how ? How high are the ends ?
Done right, this can be an excellent antenna. Done wrong, this makes a poor
dummy load.
