Hi Guru,
The other factor could be the ground type and any slope or rising ground creating a blockage in a certain direction from where the antenna is set-up. As always setting up the same antenna on different summits it can work in different ways.
I have read that when used with a single counterpoise wire, the direction that is laid in can create some directivity on an EFHW, I have never seen this but I have not used EFHW antennas for several years, preferring the linked dipole.
Getting back to the VP2E, I have the feeling that it works generally better than my Inverted-V linked dipole - whether than is directivity or simply that there is twice as much wire in the air, I have yet to find out.
