My K9AY loop (the commercial version from Array Solutions) seems to be kind of an indifferent performer.  I believe it is set up properly. and I've laid down a radial under each side of the loops, but while it shows some directivity on high-end broadcast stations, 160M directivity is limited to nil, signal strengths are rarely better than my inverted-L, and the adjusting the termination seems to make very little difference.  Any hints?
