I just rummaged around in Google and found a different paper that Watterson wrote related to HF propagation and digital modes (almost 10 years after his HF channel model paper):
http://www.its.bldrdoc.gov/pub/ntia-rpt/79-29/79-29.pdf His conclusion definitely advocates the use of diversity reception. Discussion of HF Channel model starts on page 35 (yes, gigantic manuscript), discussion on using separate receiving antennas on page 46, use of matched filters on page 51, diversity reception on page 72. 73 Chen, W7AY ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
