Default Question about Full Wave loop

I am buying a house with 1.25 wooded acres. I want to put a loop
skywire for 160-80 meters. I am hoping to get it up 60 feet in the
trees. Anyways I noticed on the radiation graphic that a major lobe of
the antenna is 90 degrees from horizontal. Question is if I slope the
antenna, will it lower the 90 degree lobe to to something that sends
rf out instead of straight up and should it lower the take-off angle
assuming the soil conductivity is good. KG4CYB
