Hi Dale,

I couldn't resist.

If you make the rhombic with stretchable mounting points (and do not
load the end of the rhombic, so as to make it bi-directional) you can
change the major axis. This would alter EW to NS, and, I bet, if you
didn't stretch it strictly to the typical elongated axis (the major
axis) you would probably fill in the lobes in between.

However, this (admittedly rube Goldberg design) and the original
suggestion of a rhombic seems prohibitive in a neighborhood already
far too sensitive to even a quarterwave vertical.

I'm not sure who you are responding to, certainly NOT the original
poster. He can't put up a quarter wave, let alone an effing RHOMBIC!

I am amazed at how these threads can take off in only 3 responses into
something that has absolutely nothing to do with the question that was
asked.
