Is that a word? :) The vertical element of my new HiFER antenna is NOT very vertical. It leans to the South perhaps 5 degrees ... maybe more. It's easy to see. I know what to do to fix it, but it is going to take a little doing. My question is ... what effect, if any, does this have on my signal? I'm going to fix it regardless of the answer, but I'd like to know. 73 Eric, KD5UWL
