Definitely useful in at least two places.

Low bands CW and RTTY. Maybe SSB too altho I don't use SSB much, no 
data. Lot of effort to install a good directional antenna on 160/80, 
every advantage helps. Diversity has played a significant role in my 
lowband operations. My diversity ant is a low (10 ft AGL) 160M dipole, 
always hooked to the K3 sub rx aux jack, very effective. Just about any 
old hunk of wire will work as long as it hears something.

RTTY any band the diversity antenna is effective. Low bands, high bands, 
doesn't matter. The fading difference between mark and space has to be 
lived with to believe it.
