Going a step further, it should also increase the signal to noise ratio due to 
the gain of that antenna in the desired direction and the loss of noise signal 
in the other directions.  Remember, signal strength is not what WSJT-X is 
reporting.  It is the strength of the decoded signal over the overall noise.
