Default Rhombics

Before I go to the trouble of putting up a rhombic, I've been using NEC to
get an idea of the gain, radiation angle etc for various leg lengths. It
all looks very promising on the computer but I'd be interested in
real-world experiences. For example, how well does the real antenna
approach the PC simulation when various factors like wire sag, uneven
ground, presence of trees and shrubbery?

Alan,
Rhombics perform better than what simulations and modeling show.
Put them up and see for yourself.
