Sounds like you may have configured the Rotator control in DX4WIN for a 30m antenna to have a 90 degree offset, as you would for a rotary dipole mounted along the boom of another yagi in the stack.

John, true that the propagation moves around, but, when you type FT8X into DX4Win from my location it says 123 degrees. If I select long path the antenna moves to 303 degrees as it should. However, on 30M the antenna moves to 30 degrees for long path and ONLY on 30 meters.
