Topband: Beverage w/ground simulation

My main interest is to find out if the antenna wire which is 30' from the bottom of the canyon will change the antenna from an endfire Beverage into a 30' high long wire at that part of the antenna.  If it does this, I would expect to receive a lot of high angle signal from my low angle Beverage. This Beverage will be about 1000' long and the height will be about 6' except for about 200' which will be 30' high at the canyon.  Can I do anything to alter the 200' piece that might receive the high angle signals?

Thanks to NI6T and N0TT for their information.  I understand from NI6T that impedance variations should not be a critical factor.  My main concern is high angle reception.
