I think the dude may have just been implying that the OP may want to try different antenna orientations which seems like good advice considering that there most certainly is an orientation of an EM wave which has nothing to do with antenna radiation patterns. If the antenna does not work in one orientation and is pointed directly at the station, try turning the antenna orthoganally and the result may be better reception, this would be due to the orientation of the EM wave, ie is E or H (or neither)field parallel with ground plane (earth surface). This can be especially true when trying to pull in skip, since the reflective surfaces are typically some randomly oriented feature in nature.
