For a vertical omni on DX I imagine a broad wide angle take off from 5-35 degrees would be ideal. Peak gain i.e. a dB or 2 is not likely to be the reason for not getting through... or them, back.

Until the last moment of the QSB, so say 73 a little earlier !

I found feed point at 7.5 - 10 Meters above ground is the height for me when my verticals start motoring on 11m. For Sporadic E, I am finding 5 meters works ok. (until you were not heard, lol, then you wish it was 10m)
