Jim, the inverted L plus Beverage should be an excellent combination while using stereo diversity. That's exactly what I used in ARRL160. Conditions in ARRL160 (at my QTH) unusually favored the inv L as a receiving antenna because of very low noise levels. So this may have been a source of confusion for why the Beverage wasn't a bigger contributor to reception. The important trick is balancing the relative rx gain levels. You can do a pretty good job of this using band noise alone. Generally speaking, you should expect signals in the Beverage direction to be as strong or stronger in the Beverage vs inv L and vice versa in other directions. 73, Barry N1EU -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-Diversity-antenna-experiences-tp7581518p7581596.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
