[TowerTalk] Laddfer line feed

[k7mks at comcast.net]

What performance or radiation pattern might I expect to see if the angle of the open wire ladder line feed was decreased from the current 45 degrees degrees.or so (from the antenna center to the antenna end) to 30 degrees. In other words the feed line would approach 1/2 of the antenna and depart from the other half. 

A new roof is keeping me from wanting to use a couple of beehive thru insulators thru the roof but I can go out a side wall per the above comment
