Since the loop element is not the active receiving element for VHF on the C2, focus on receiving the UHF stations first. By changing the angle of the loop, you're inadvertently exposing more of the coax to the signal as described following.

A limited amount VHF reception capability is available via the coaxial feedline, similar to the concept used by your bedside clock radio using it's power cord or a Walkman-type portable device that uses the headphone cord for its FM antenna. You can experiment with the placement of the first several feet of coax to see if you can get adequate VHF reception. Usually, placing the coax oriented so it is both horizontal and perpendicular to the signals source works best.

I'd like your feedback as to whether or not this is effective in your case. If not, there's still a tool or two up my sleeve.
