In this case they were the same direction. I can unwind one and rewind it
in the opposite direction. I really don't know if it makes a difference.
Should take all of a few minutes and a couple new pieces of duct tape.
(grin) I'll set it in a specific location and write down some signal
strengths. Then do the rewind and repeat.

Thatks! Finding what doesn't work can be as important as finding what does.
Believe me, I've found a bootload of what doesn't work...
