Thanks for all the input. Think what I will do now is wait for a nice warm wind-free Saturday and climb up the tower, detach the antenna and do some free form experiments while a watcher down below gives me feedback. Changing height and tilt. I may also try holding foil covered foamcore near the back and side to block interference. Just to see what happens. I'll report back in a few weeks. Thanks again.
One final note. I never did get any feedback on the idea of adding 1/2" hardware cloth to the corner reflectors. Is that a myth?
