Thanks, I'll look at those a bit next time I can see well enough to read much. Even the name is new to me right now..  What I'm wondering is shy so much current discussion of whombic antennas at all. I try to follow the tech posts because short repeats of good info may be my best shot at absorbing it efficiently, but I'm not sure how rhombics got such repeated notice. Someone is attempting to make some sort of point by comparing apples and strawberries. The rhombic was a big deal in it's day back when huge, empty areas were readily available and better antennas had not yet been invented. -- Jim Pennino |
