In broad, general terms, that longwire will receive best from the sides (from the West and East). It will also pick up signals from the ends, but not as strong as from the sides. Yes, total wire length and height above ground changes this broad principle, but the broad principle remains the same. But, if you get a real long wire, it will begin to get more directional characteristics off the ends, rather than the sides, and then the broad principle is out the window :-) The long wire will receive at least somewhat better off the sides (in your case, West, and East).
