Don`t worry. I`ve erected many rhombics. They were all astisfactory and
very forgiving. Most were about 4 or 5 wavelengths on a side (leg) and
they were about twice as long as wide. They all worked well over a wide
range of frequencies. It`s just a terminated transmission line with a
big spread in the middle so it will radiate. Matching is a cinch.

Well, I'll give one a try. I can get four 15m poles at a reasonable
price (I've planted hundreds of pine trees on the property but the
tallest is only 25' so far and not where I need them - should have
planned that a bit better!!)
What sort of feed arrangement did you use?
Alan
