Replacing 15ft of coaxial with 42ft typically reduces SWR due to coaxial 
line losses. Putting 420 ft instead of 42 ft makes situation better when 
looking strictly only SWR meter.

I could comment a lot more about your topic but I don't do it.
Mixing the feets and metric units is not clever idea :) We europeans 
cannot clearly see what you US fellows are writing ;)

Using 30 feet (about 10 meter?) vertical in 20m is very poor situtation. 
Impedance in the feedpoint is pretty different compared to 50 ohm.
