Exactly.

The antenna in the paddle is a patch.
One way to do it, would be to mod the circuit in the receiver, and add
attenuation, say 6-10dB, and try that.
It will be more critical of aiming, but may take out the interference.

There are loop yagi designs on the web that will help make it more
directional.

differentiate a signature line from the text of an email, I am forbidden to
have it.
