[Elecraft] [K3] Diversity antenna experiences?

[Jim Miller]

I put up an inverted L for the 160 contest and as expected my beverages did
a nice job of improving the receive performance over it. The inverted L did
a good job of spraying my 500w watts around and I'm satisfied with it as
well. Best LOTW confirmed DX so far is Ukraine. Not bad for the first few
days.

I did experience quite a bit of QSB as expected and would like to play with
diversity. My brief attempt at doing diversity with the inverted L in
combination with the beverage wasn't encouraging however. The S/N of the
inverted L in the left ear only provided a distraction trying to discern
the better S/N but fading signal in the right from the beverage.

At this point my primary interest is 160m diversity implementations. Any
suggestions based on experience with an inverted L and beverage? Any
suggestions for a second antenna other than these two that would
potentially work better when combined with the beverage?

Note: I'm on a partially wooded 1 acre lot in a HOA so big receive
structures like an 8 circle aren't possible. My beverages are BOGs for that
reason.

Thanks
