Default Rhombics

Agreed. I worked for an oil company on Tierra del Fuego. We frequently
had no contact with our office in Buenos Aires. I put up a rhombic
driven by a 20-watt Hallicrafters transmitter surplus from our Bolivian
operations. They had upgraded to Collins 30-K5 transmtters there.

The Argentine Post Office used a surplus 300-watt BC-610 into a dipole
near our camp. When I called the same station in Buenos Aires used by
the Post Office, they at first would not believe that I was as far away
as Tierra del Fuego.

Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI
