Antennas act exactly the same on receive as transmitting as far as patterns
are concerned.

How about radiation patterns. I'm not familiar with how antenna design
affects reception, but I have seen the transmission patterns of various
antennas. Is there an analogy to radiation patterns for reception (onmi-
directional antennas, still, as someone has suggested, perhaps a degree
of directionality) and could this be a factor?
