[SECC] ARRL 160 AA4LR Single Op LP

[Randy Farmer]

Diversity mode works extremely well on the lower bands, and I use it 
pretty much all the time. When I was in Texas I used a S9V 43' vertical 
as the second receiver antenna. Since I got my Beverage installed here 
at the new NC station last week I've been using it for the second 
receiver antenna, and the effects can range from subtle to downright 
startling (one station in the left ear and a completely different 
station in the right), even on signals from close-in stations. The 350 
foot Beverage is even useful on 20 meters. For sure, it really helps 
reception in fast QSB situations.
