Topband: Capacity Hat Wires not across from each other.

[Bruce Osterberg]

Hello:

When I model a 70' Vertical with Capacity Wires that slope down from 
each other at a 180 Degree From the Top, they show a nice clean Pattern 
and Great op Loading.

But in Reality, I cannot get 180 Degrees, (top Hat wires Opposite of 
each other), because of a Tree in One direction.

How much of a degradation of Pattern would I have if the top Hat wires 
were 140 Degrees from each other?  I think they still would provide 
proper loading but what effect would they have on the Pattern and 
efficiency or would I notice any difference?

Thanks, This will be a weekend Project.
