Sloping the antenna along the ridge at Baylor Pass showed remarkable improvements. Try sloping the home station antenna along the hill rather than across.
One issue that will cloud results is that this will also result in the antenna being more near to a perfect 50 ohm impedance as the Vee opens up to almost straight.

Antenna has worked very well, and the sloping dipole is now the standard installation in the backyard.
