Graham and extra pole is not unreasonable or by adding a smaller diam. light weight pole 20ft on top. Check it out another 'S' point (or thereabouts) for free? Paint it mottled blue and the neighbours wouldn't even notice. You know it makes sense. GL.

 Hi Graham

Probably better to put your efforts into making it higher ?

Hi Graham, this will increase the aerial capacity by around 100 to 120pF provided the new wires are not over/close to lossy foliage/buildings, as the new wires are only the same length as the current wires you will see little increase in Rrad, BUT you will see a proportional decrease in the loss resistance. So the aerial becomes more efficient......this assumes a flat fan not a sloping one. 
 
There is also mileage to be had by connecting the ends of the fan together!! see the measurements Finbar did on the Spiral top loaded systems we tested. http://g3nyk.ham-radio-op.net/spiraltop.htm
 
Approximately, doubling the antenna capacitance halves the  Rloss which is the component determining the antenna current you can drive and hence the ERP.

Anyone   tried  this  configuration  ?
 
Changing  single   40 ft  top   wire  on inv-L    to  a   FAN
shape  x3 40 Ft  , spaced  about  10 ft  at  far  end   
 
TNx -G,
