Except Rhombics, of course. :-)

====================================

Cecil, get yourself up to date.

A terminated rhombic is only 50 percent (or even less) efficient.

It transmitts to, and receives from, only half of the available
directions. A wicked waste of power. I can't imagine why anybody
bothers to use one which is not rotateable.

Have you ever erected a 160-meter or 80-meter or even a 40-meter
rotateable rhombic? smiley
