Chuck, the second receiver does more than just offer diversity. A lot of CW
DX is worked split, and it's tremendously helpful to be able to listen to
your xmit frequency in one ear and the DX in the other. The key is to track
down the guy he's working and position your signal so it's in the right
place at the right time. It's even more helpful if your station is modest,
as you imply when you mention antenna restrictions. I use split mode 100% of
the time, even if the DX is listening on his frequency. Being able to slide
to one side or the other can make all the difference. And BTW, if you have
two dissimilar antennas, diversity is really neat.
