Antenna Question

I'd like an opinion from some of the antenna gurus. My Zepp is 180' long, fed
with open wire. The feed point is at 50' and the ends go down to about 25'.
Now, the thing is not straight, but the wired are at about a 110 deg angle at
the feedpoint. I am considering connecting the two ends, to make a triangular
shaped "loop" which would be 90' on two sides, and about 110' on the other side
(opposite the feedpoint).

Think it would be worthwhile, or is it better left as a Zepp?
