What is undeniably true is that it *looked* spectacular! I've used many
kinds of antennas since then, up to an 85ft dish, but not one of them
has given me the same buzz as that rhombic. And there is the trap: buzz
isn't the same thing as performance.

As always, Ian put his finger directly on a fundamental principle.

The problem with modeling programs is that they don't model the buzz.
