Diversity Reception

So i tried to give my argument some background, i’ve modified SkyView to draw dots for every position received:

Note: Circles at 2, 4 and 6 nmi, so these screenshots are fairly well zoomed in.

The coloring is according to RSSI but that is quite flaky, nonetheless the blue dots mean lower RSSI than the red dots.

So you can see the frequency of positions received reduces when the plane flies directly overhead.

A second example:

And another one:

The last screenshot also has somewhat more consistent RSSI.
