Okay, okay, folks...
I did experiment with bending plates which seemed to improve low end reception somewhat. At the time I did not have my outdoor longwire up (which my son-in-law has since built for me) so I couldn't really put it to the test.
Since then I've moved on to other things and yes, I do need to drag it back out and try it again with my longwire to get a really good idea of whether it is truly better now, or not. If I feel up to it I'll try to do that this weekend. No promises.
