I use a Par Omniangle OA-50 antenna, and am about to stack 2 of them for
some more gain. I'm in a deed restricted neighborhood (if the XYL isn't
happy, nobody is happy) so a yagi is out, but the Omniangles are
invisible hidden among a small group of trees when I camo them. I would
love more gain and aim-able directivity, but at least I don't miss
anyone during a contest because I am looking the wrong way!

I'll start.
I operate in the low power category. I have two 6M antennas that are
connected to an A/B/Both switch. When calling CQ, I usually use both so as
to illuminate more azimuth; which is important for a CONTEST. Then I'll
switch the switch to hear and favor a weak answer. But if conditions are
highly favoring one direction, say, SW, I will put all the power that way
during CQing for a while.
