Default Front-to-back ratio for UHF antenna

If the desired signal is a single channel, two antennas connected 180
degrees out of phase (or flip one upside down), where they are spaced
an odd multiple wavelength from the desired source, and equadistant to
the multi-frequency side source (if there is a specific noisy source),
might do the trick.

You might look into these antennas:
