DXLook, the propagation map run by Rodrigo, AK6FP, has a new Antenna view under Maps. Type in your call sign and it compares your signal with other stations within about 300 km, as heard by the same receivers at roughly the same time, using spots from WSPRnet and PSK Reporter. The results are broken out by direction, distance and three-hour UTC window: green arcs mean you did better than the local reference, red means weaker.
It is not an antenna analyzer and gives no gain figures, and for FT8 and FT4 it shows relative patterns only. Still, it is a handy way to see whether that new wire or vertical made a real difference. It refreshes every 30 minutes.
