Would it help to increase the delay in transmitting, CW rise time? I know there are products available from a few sources which introduce an extra delay between TX and RX to overcome your situation. With My K3 and inverted L the separation of K9AY and inverted L is greater than yours but not as much as I would like and all is okay. Previously I had problems with an Orion 2 when using an RX antenna. Experimenting with the delay is easy to do.
