A long wire has forward gain, though I forget whether it's along
the antenna or broadside to it. It's certainly along in the case
of a beverage antenna, so maybe it's along. Aim that at the
station you want and see if it helps. Be sure to look up the
great circle direction, they're not what you'd think.

A 'real' longwire is directional towards the far end of the wire. A
random wire or inverted-L is generally non-directional if it's less than
a wavelength long. Most are somewhat directional on the higher HF
frequencies because the wire is at least one wavelength long.
