Default Tilted SSB Antenna

The tilt is due to the stand-off from the rail. I'm wondering if I'd
have a better signal if I were to put a block at the base and make it
vertical?



Not much at all. 90% of your signal is being coupled into that stack of
metal stuff right above the flag, instead of going out on the air,
anyways....

That's where your signal's going........to ground.

If a man goes way out into the woods all alone and says something,
is it still wrong, even though no woman hears him?
