Forty meter improved, did 20 m worsen after elevating end fed antenna?

    The feedpoint was left undisturbed and antenna wire about one and a half meters from the previous apex was just pulled up using a nylon wire passing through a make shift ring near the top of the GI pipe. Orientation of the remaining wire was changed a bit to be little more away from the house building. Free end also became a little more higher above the ground, may be about 10 feet at final position.

    As I wished to have, the VSWR on 40 m did come down a bit, though not to ideal levels. But in the bargain, VSWR on 20 m rose a bit, which I did not wish to have as I do love working DX on 20 m.
