VHF Diversity

[K5RC]

Thanks to G0AFH for reminding me of how we did diversity on VHF years ago. I
have three six meter yagis on different towers, separated by as much as 150'
horizontal and 40' vertical distances. I am going to put a switch in at the
AUX input to allow one of the yagis to be dedicated to the diversity
antenna. Stay tuned!

I've been making a few recordings of signals on 6m during recent Es events,
using polarisation diversity and the K3 subrx.  The results are quite
amusing - see www.g3tct.co.uk/diversity.html

BTW the K3 has been great - 13 new dxcc on 6m and 3 new ones on 4m in May
and June.

 K3 Fellows take a listen to these! Very neat setup and great recordings.

 Graham, Thanks for the link. VERY interesting recordings and system. You have much to be studied on your website. The recordings are very well done and it sounds like you have a wonderfully quiet 6m location.
