Directionality of ferrite rod antennas...

Hello.
Those 1MHz AM band radios with ferrite rod antennas exhibit directionality of the source/reception as used in radiogoniometer instruments, the sensitive bearing is transversal to the rod. Your face to the image :



Now, I remember tilting an AM radio on its side, its internal rod being then, vertical.



What would you expect from the directionality behavior with a vertical ferrite rod antenna ?
