This might be due to the amount of side/back-lobes the patch antennas have.
They basically relly on an (infitely) large ground plane beneath the
antenna for back-lobe surpression. And most people I know use the patch
antennas without any ground plane at all (me included).

Which of the L1-only antennas did well?
And do you have an explanation why the L1/L2 antennas did better,
even for the L1-only reception case?
