Bill,
While a dramatic change in ground conductivity in dry weather can be a
problem, I haven't received any reports of the antenna becoming
omnidirectional -- usually its just reduced directivity.
There are other problems that can cause a pattern that doesn't change. Some
of these include burned out terminating resistors due to nearby lightning or
transmitted RF, a corroded or broken connection from the loop to relays or
to the ground rod, or a failure somewhere in the control wiring that keeps
the relays from switching.
