I find diversity reception useful on 20 Meters when operating on the Alaska Pacific net. One antenna is a Beam pointed toward Alaska. The diversity antenna is a Vertical. With this arrangement I get the nulls in the beam pattern filled in with the vertical and can hear operators off the side and back of the beam that would be down 20+DB with just the beam. The same works for DX and pail-ups.
