Back when I was a kid, my dad had a buick with one of those antennas like friedgreentmaters. In the 50's around where we lived there weren't a lot of stations close by. Pointing the antenna in the direction of the station boosed the signal.

You can try this out by taking an antenna and hooking it to the radio (AM) then point it around and when you point to the direction he station is in, it will get louder.
