FWIW, I use WSPR to compare antennas. That usually gives me a
comparison list of more than a dozen receive stations. I do multiple
transmissions and then compare the differences. There may be
propagation changes during the different transmission periods but a
couple of repeats seems to average that out. It not only provides data
in different directions but also different distances.
To get a same time comparison, I have used dual transmitters on slightly
different frequencies but that gets complicated.
