I am working on a 2 element quad antenna. I noticed that raising it a mere two feet higher brought the SWR down a little. It is only twelve feet from the ground to the boom while working on it. Can I expect a definite improvement on the SWR when I get it up to operating height, 30 - 35 feet?

Current SWR at present height is:

ch 40 2:1:1

ch 20 1:6:1

ch 1 1:4:1
