[TowerTalk] [CQ-Contest] Stacking on separate towers, take off angles?

If the separation is significant in terms of wavelengths and you had a
diversity receiver system which would have separate inputs for each antenna,
under some types of QSB conditions it would favor the stronger signal and
you could experience enhanced reception, and possibly by transmitting on
both antennas, a more "solid" transmitted signal.
