Lately when I worked a VK on 160m, the transmit antenna  antenna heard
better than beverages. In other cases with the VKs, the beverages were
better but not by much. I am wondering why this is the case. Beverages make
a big difference to other directions.

The transmit antenna is 100ft shunt-fed tower with beam on top, and 36
radials. Beverages are 500-600 ft  about 7 ft up in 7 directions, all but
S.
