Have you nailed down that it is the trombone causing the skewing Eddie ?
i don't recall other models of 5/8wave that have conventional matching or no matching showing a pattern like your free space model,

i remember years ago somebody claiming the trombone will cause a skewed pattern,
strange that it almost goes away when you add the isolated mast over real ground,

The Shockwave 5/8 has symmetrical radials & the trombone is not aligned with the radials.
