[Elecraft] Diversity RX question

So, I'm wondering if I will be able to use Diversity RX on my K3S given my
antenna situation. At the moment I have ANT-1 connected to my remote antenna
switch at the tower, which selects 10-160m. ANT-2 is a 6m Yagi on a separate
tower, and a K9AY loop is connected via BNC to the RX antenna port on the
K3S. Those are all the antennas I possess, and my understanding is that I
need another dedicated antenna for diversity. Is there any way I can use
what I have to get diversity and still retain use of the RX antenna port
feature for the lowbands? If not, what are most people using for diversity?
Is this something that's used on all bands or is it a predominantly lowband
feature (which is where I need the most CW RX help given my very noisy QTH)?

Thanks in advance.
