[Antennaware] 2-element delta loop array close to ground

I am modeling a 20M 2-element delta loop array with the apex up, 12-foot 
spacing and the bottom about 35 feet above ground, fed at a lower corner, 
using Multi-NEC and NEC2.  In driven/reflector configuration, it looks 
about like what I'd expect - 6 dBi gain and 14-18 dB F/B.  But in the 
driven/director configuration, there isn't much directivity at all, 
regardless of frequency.

Does this square with others' experience, or am I messing something up in 
the model?
