I use either a vertical active antenna vs. my dipole on 40 and 80, or a ferrite loop on
160 vs. the vertical transmitting antenna. My idea is to use different polarization so
they will not fade the same way. It seems to work.

I have not found diversity useful on the higher bands where I have a beam because the
signal picked up by the beam is so much stronger than that from the verticals. Of course
if I had a pair of beams separated by a few wavelengths, that would be cool!
