That shape of that element doesn't seem to make a difference from my experimentation. I always straighten it out though.

Have you tried raising or lowering the antenna a few inches? The antenna may be in a dead spot for RF42 now. You may need to experiment with both height & aim adjustments to see all of the desired stations. Most of my stations are in the same exact direction, but some require aiming off axis due to the large trees in front of the antenna.

The ION station is likely too weak to receive reliably at any reasonable height.
