EZNEC is correct. Adding more radials, even long ones, in a specific
direction won't preferentially favor the direction in which the radials are
added. It will help raise the overall efficiency of the antenna to a
degree, depending on how many radials are already in place, but any
improvement will be distributed uniformly over all directions.

Subject: Topband: More radials towards EU
My shunt fed tower has 36 radials 70 to 100 ft long. Would adding a few
longer radials towards EU help to EU?
Eznec says no.
