what would you do to improve this antenna?


didnt know it would load a whole dam window of picture. its an off center fed 90'\45', with a 4:1 current balun 15 feet off the ground.
 
ive measured it at 3 different heights. 15, 25, 35 ft and tried changing the degree between the two elements. makes very little difference. cutting would be next. although i hate to cut it at this point. looks ok to me i suppose
 
NEVER CUT ...just fold it back...remember you have ratio hr on length...so fold a foot back on the 90 side ...6 inches on the 45 side...compare readings.
Also if V or Horz... how ever is final resting place is where?...tune it thr...make changes ...BACK UP Same location...Compare...

Better/worse than needed?

Remember to LOWER frequency ...ADD length
Raise to higher frequency...shorten!!
 
Tried another one at a friends house. Same measurements. Same balun. Different wire. Didnt work out near as well.
