According to EZNEC, what you are getting now is slightly less
gain than a dipole with a slightly higher take off angle. To
get very good performance out of that configuration, you are
going to have to learn how to phase the inputs different
from in-phase. That means the two elements will have different
feedpoint impedances thus making it difficult to balance the
currents into the elements.
