[Elecraft] K3 Dual Receive Surprise

[Matt Zilmer]

I was working on 160m CW during the contest and noticed an interesting
phenom when hearing static crashes.  The subRX (vertical polarized
antenna) received the noise later than the receiver on the long wire
(horz pol).  The K3 was set in diversity receive mode.

Being new to receiver diversity, I'd never thought through all of the
implications.  Is it possible that two wavefronts arrive at times
different enough that this can actually be detected audibly?

Anyone else ever noticed this or have any kind of explanation?  I
don't know if it's a DSP audio delay thing, or something physical Out
There.
