The 2 element 40 was added - at a height around 60 feet and the following
results were found:

1. SWR mostly unaffected - maybe shifted down a little.

2. Monitoring the signal strength using a 2 element wire quad about
600 feet away showed an increase in signal strength after adding the
40 meter antenna.

I would say the results are promising that nothing terrible has been
done.
