Diversity is not just useful for signals from one direction.  I used
diversity continually this weekend to allow simultaneous copy from two
different directions.  This could also be done with an external splitter but
I like the added flexibility of diversity using Beverages on one input and
an RX 4SQ on the other.  

When running EU I used a phased Beverage pair NE and set the 4SQ NW for
Western NA stations.  When running JA (wishful thinking!) I also listened NE
on the 4SQ for W1-4 stations.  

Of course for extreme cases I could quickly switch both antennas to the same
direction.

73,  Bill
