Yeah, it had to do with buildings with all their vertical corners and edges 
diffracting everything.  
I remember reading a paper on it.  Not sure if anyone ever put it to good use.  
FB broadcast is circular I think, so similar effects.

The dual slant is good for an urban environment where most of the surfaces are 
horizontal or vertical. Not so much in a rural environment, but a flat field 
comes close.

  Spacial or frequency diverse systems need two receivers.  I don’t know of any 
solution that just uses one receiver.  If you put up two antennas and phase 
them together you will just create a new pattern with higher gain in one 
direction and new nulls.  So it will still fade.  You need two SMs and a way to 
select the best one.  Or maybe just go in and swap the connection between them 
remotely at the right time of year.  If there was an STP that would check link 
quality rather than speed that could be a thing.

  Is there an SM side solution for this? We have a handful of customers we have 
to go out twice a year to move their equipment up 5 feet or down 5 feet. In the 
fall, I love to point out they just harvested the field across the road, didnt 
they. theyre always "how did you know" 



  I could take the loss hit in many of these cases to do a splitter and diverse 
antennas, but would that harm or hurt more?



  Some of them we just have 2 radios installed a spring and fall radio, we just 
have them swap which ones plugged in. 2 450b SMs leaves a lot of budget for 
something that doesnt require touching



  One of you geeks has to have come up with a solution over the years other 
than truck rolls.
