Abstract: Let $pge3$ be a prime, $Ssubseteqmathbb{F}_p^2$ a nonempty set, and $wcolonmathbb{F}_p^{2}omathbbR$ a function with $mathrmsupp,w=S$. Applying an uncertainty inequality due to Andr'as Bir'o and the present author, we show that there are at most $frac12|S|$ directions in $mathbb{F}_p^2$ such that for every line $l$ in any of these directions, one has ${\displaystyle }$ sum_{zin l} w(z) = frac1psum_{zinmathbb F_p^2} w(z), ${\displaystyle }$ except if $S$ itself is a line and $w$ is constant on $S$ (in which case all, but one direction have the property in question). The bound $frac12|S|$ is sharp. As an application, we give a new proof of a result of R'edei-Megyesi about the number of directions determined by a set in a finite affine plane.
