Rob, Since you mention it as a short range station, I am assuming that when you did the bearing corrections, you did not change them from great circle to rumb lines. I have never done RDF except academically and there were two distinct problems that I was given, one was on pilotage charts where bearings were converted with a deviation table of some sort and then longer range bearings (several hundred miles at least) where I was plotting on universal sheets and had to use the deviation tables as well as conversion of GC to RL bearings.
