Tom,
Why? The same reason guys put up quads. They LOOK very cool! Imagine
standing on one end of the rhombic and saying "well, you can't see the end
of the antenna without the binoculars - but it's out that-way somewhere."

Subject: Re: Topband: 160M Rhombics
Anybody on this list have a Rhombic for 160M?
W1AW used to use one for bulletins and code practice on 160M but I think
it came down years ago (1989?)
I seem to recall pics in CQ of a big California desert DX'er who had what
was essentially a radial array of rhombics for maybe 160M or 80M.
I can't imagine why anyone would have one today. Here is an analaysis of
Rhomics.
