You may be right, Dave. I live on a lake and am radiating over water
to the north. I also have a little natural screening to the south.

yes, it can. it could also be that the ground is better one way than the
other, there is a building the wrong (or right) distance away one way or the
other, that there is a hill in the way one way, that you have been on when
propagation favors one direction over the other, or that you have just
contacted people who have better receivers to your north than to your south.
random on the air tests of antennas are poor at best, misleading at worst,
and are generally not all that useful in figuring out what the antenna
itself is doing.

I put up a 133 ft Windom at 40 feet to operate some CW on the lower
bands during the down cycle. It seems, on 40 Mtrs, I am getting
great reports to the north, MI and Canada, but lower reports to the
south. This thing can't have a front to back, can it? Can anyone
point me to some radiations patterns for the Windom?

Thanks.
