Lew,

You should definitely try to improve this situation.  Judging from your result 
in the last 160 test, things can only get better from what you have right now. 
In my experience more that I mess with things, better they work, and less time 
I spend on them. 

In reality I am not sure where is the problem you are having?  The dumped power 
or the desired pattern?  The Belgian's bible has the antenna patterns on page 
11-3, you are almost at 3/8 spacing - nice!
