Topband: K9AY RX antenna

My K9AY loop (the commercial version from Array Solutions) seems to be 
kind of an indifferent performer.  I believe it is set up properly. and 
I've laid down a radial under each side of the loops, but while it shows 
some directivity on high-end broadcast stations, 160M directivity is 
limited to nil, signal strengths are rarely better than my inverted-L, 
and the adjusting the termination seems to make very little difference.  
Any hints?
