Something tells me that I should have pointed my antenna at Nashville, TN, this morning (11/26/2022)

My experience with skip is that often the orientation of the antenna is irrelevant.

I have picked up stations from San Francisco and from Alabama in southeastern New Mexico with the antenna pointed NNE, of course this was in the analog days with the antenna shown in my avatar.

E-skips on longer wavelength doesn't have to be very directly on 54 to 88 MHz, while on 174 to 608 MHz with tropo ducting tends to be more direct or more focus orientation than anything else thanks to shorter wavelength patterns.

Hope that's helps.
