Have you considered circular polarity? It would use crossed dipoles fed 90 degrees out of phase. The reflector and directors can be regular square loops. The advantage to circular would be during skip conditions when the signal polarity could be rapidly changing, the CP will respond much better and should reduce apparent signal fading. The same should happen on the receive end. Total ERP or gain would be half, but reception should be greatly improved.
