Just guessing here, but a coil loaded Moxon might work. It probably
wouldn't provide a lot more gain, but if it worked it would have a much
improved pattern. Moxons rely on coupling between the folded tips of
the forward and rear elements, though, so I suspect such an antenna
would involve a bit of trial and error to optimize it.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Custom antenna design
Hey Gang
OK - here is a question - anyone out there doing custom beams? I have kind
of a sticky
Right now I'm running a Force 12 D-140, frankly because that all that will
FIT - I have a 38ft piece of property, and it has an 18 ft turning radius
I'd LOVE to have a bit more gain, but even the smallest shorty 40s I've
found are SLIGHTLY too big.
I was wondering if anyone could design a 18.5 ft or less turning radius 40m
beam...
