I think you'll find that for a short vertical radiator and a single counterpoise wire the maximum radiation is in the direction of the wire. EZNEC confirms this and I've tested it with a friend the length of California on 40 m where with the counterpoise pointed away from him I could barely copy him, flipping the wire 180° brought his signal up significantly. He saw the same thing on his end.
