Can you expand on this, Ken, or if easier, a reference? I'm curious
what tradeoffs are made. I used a rhombic at Ft. Monmouth, NJ before
the Army base was closed in 2011, and used to boom into Europe and
Russia. It was amazing. I also got copies of WWII manuals on rhombic
construction while there. You know, just in case I became wealthy with
tens of acres of land. :-)

Rhombic antennas derive their well-known gain by "throwing away" some of
the design's gain. Ditto for the infamous "inverted vee". Use is made of
the lobes from the four wires while disregarding others.
