Rhombics are "big" in the physical sense, but you can the same gain in much
less
space with a Yagi, plus much less sidelobe power. Also, I'm not sure what
you
mean by "low bands". On 160 and 80 meters, you either need verticals or a
lot
of height. A 160 meter rhombic would require 20 to 40 acres of land.

Now are you still sure you want to build rhombics?
