Playing with EZNEC suggests that replacing the front 10m director with a trapped tri-band director might give about and extra 1.5 dB forward gain, and some 10 dB f/b improvement. Yes, I know it would mean using traps, which I generally don't like, but on paper, the advantages are there for the taking.
