Just FYI, I've picked up a few bits and piece from a company in Florida
called "Fleeman Anderson & Bird."  They have a ton of stuff, including
panel antennas and many other things.  They're at

I'll bet they'll have something that will solve (or at least alleviate)
your problem.

I have no association with them, btw, I'm just a satisfied customer.
