I don't think a 32" tower would have any effect
on 20 meters. Is there another antenna near the
20, or a set of guy wires?
Sometimes antenna analyzers tell lies. If you
were using an analyzer, try your measurement
with a regular swr bridge.
Otherwise, there must be something wrong with
the antenna.
