There are several ways to describe the ANT-751. Directional is correct, but that is not an absolute term. In the case of the ANT-751 and similar antenna designs, it would be helpful to clarify that the antenna favors reception of stations that it's pointed at. However it also has the ability to receive signals from the back if they are a bit stronger than the signals toward the front.
The bottom line is, the ANT-751 can correctly be used as a bidirectional antenna. I think the price of the ANT-751 and it's performance makes it a very good choice in this situation. The suggested aim point is valid, but don't be hesitant to try pointing the antenna as much as 180° the other way, aimed at the Canadian stations, it will still have no problem receiving the strong US signals. Adjust the aim for optimum reception of the stations you're most interested in.
