If the Comprod is really the equivalent of the Sinclair SRL235-2, I must respectfully disagree with this. The instruction sheet for the SRL235-2 says the opposite, that maximum radiation would be perpendicular to a line drawn as described. I can scan a page from the Sinclair instruction sheet to back up this statement.
