signals are arriving at higher angles than signals arriving at lower angles via more common F-layer propagation

The patterns of all antennas are three-dimensional, and it's well known that various forms of propagation causes wavefronts to arrive at horizontal and vertical angles that vary with time. ON4UN's book has a lot of great stuff about this. N6RO, an old hand on 160M and proprietor of a contesting superstation, patches many of his dozens of antennas to the operating position for 160M contests to supplement his Beverages for use as RX antennas.
