Doing this will put the weakest signal (-2.5 dB) at 350 degrees instead of
0.

Hello Jorge,
The common 4sq orientation in the eastern U.S. is 45/135/225/315 degrees.
That simply is to put the best pattern on Europe at 45 degrees.
With your directions to Europe and the USA you will be a half dB better to
far western U.S. and Northern Europe with 35/125/215/305 degrees.
In this case you will be well centered on BOTH Europe at 35 degrees and USA
at 305 degrees.
