Jim, the inverted L plus Beverage should be an excellent combination  while
using stereo diversity.  That's exactly what I used in ARRL160.  Conditions
in ARRL160 (at my QTH) unusually favored the inv L as a receiving antenna
because of very low noise levels.  So this may have been a source of
confusion for why the Beverage wasn't a bigger contributor to reception.

The important trick is balancing the relative rx gain levels.  You can do a
pretty good job of this using band noise alone.  Generally speaking, you
should expect signals in the Beverage direction to be as strong or stronger
in the Beverage vs inv L and vice versa in other directions.
