AS CK said, the .64 is an 11 meter hang up thing.

The .64 does work but not enough gain over a 1/4 wl vert to be seen by the receiver on the other end.

The 45 degree angle on the 1/4 wl is just like an inverted v type antenna, bringing the ground elements down towards earth ground increases the impedance at the feed point.

If you are looking for DX on 20 hard to beat a dipole, or for that matter even a half square or bob tail curtain.

Many better options than the 1/4 wl vert, heck even a delta loop or full wave loop will beat a 1/4 wl vert
