Diversity IS the way to go**
But if you lack the capability, you need an additional RX antenna that covers
more directions and/or vertical angles.
In my 18x22ft large garden I use a Wellbrookloop on a small rotor at ground
level. Turning it around I can effectively kill interference from my neighbors
from about 6 S-units down to 0.5-1 S-unit bove band noise level.
I had a blast last weekend in the contest doing SO LP.
Oh; the hands-free RX antenna switchbox is a great idea fir the future, TNX!
