[TowerTalk] Stack Diversity Pattern

[Keith Dutson]

Assume a stack of four tribanders, each rotatable.  The top two are phased
using a StackMatch II.  Same for the lower two.  The upper and lower pairs
are phased using a third StackMatch II.  Thus, you have a myriad of possible
antenna selections available (1, 2, 3 ,4, 1&2, 1&3, 1&4, etc. to 1&2&3&4).

Is there a way to model the pattern when using all 4 and each antenna is
pointed in a different direction?  For example, say the top is pointed NE,
#2 pointed SE, #3 pointed SW and #4 pointed NW.  In your opinion, would this
work well enough to select one antenna while receiving and then drop the
others and use it for a QSO?  Thanks in advance for your comments.
