10-15 years ago, W6GJB, W6JTI, and I were doing a single radio FD, and 
used a 2-el vertical beam that got its directivity by unequal lengths of 
feedline to the two vertical sections. Around midnight, we figured out 
that instead of aiming NE (from NorCal), we'd rigged it backwards, 
facing KH6, with its null NE.
