I'm starting work on the antenna aimed at 15deg. In the Audio article
by Richard Kaufman I haven't found mention of flattening the antenna
to make it more directional. If I flatten it as you say that will
make it more directional that should be a help on this station. It will
also make it a little easier to fit in the space I have.

Thanks for the idea.
