EZNEC is correct.  Adding more radials, even long ones, in a specific
direction won't preferentially favor the direction in which the radials are
added.  It will help raise the overall efficiency of the antenna to a
degree, depending on how many radials are already in place, but any
improvement will be distributed uniformly over all directions.

My shunt fed tower has 36 radials 70 to 100 ft long. Would adding a few
longer radials towards EU help to EU?
 Eznec says no.
