Pete, It helps to know the 3 dB beamwidth of your antennas. Since mine (580' 2-wire Beverages) are about 90 degrees, I chose NE, SE, SW, and NW. I think your headings will be similar. Check out: www.w0btu.com/Beverage_antennas.html#Misc_Beverage_antenna_notes and www.w0btu.com/links.html#Azimuthal_maps . DX Atlas is invaluable for calculating this.
