I did say for space diversity that the more space for antennas the
better but I have seen this technique used in a confined space for the
lower frequencies where one antenna was vertically polarised and the
other horizontal and it was quite remarkable to see the rise and fall of
signals as they faded then recovered etc from each antenna and then
combined. It was totally random of course but effective.
On LF it is more difficult without miles of real estate but for those
with a few acres, and some have,
then combining 2 antennas as above one horizontal and one vertical might
offer a slight advantage.
For small back gardens dont try it, they antennas would be so close that
they might even cancel the signal out!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with your observations in the rest of your message.
