For the guy who has the land and wants to own 20-10M in one or two directions for his daily chats, a rhombic will cost a lot less than a rotating tower with stacked yagis for each band. Also consider what seems like a very narrow beamwidth at the antenna can cover a lot of the planet by the time it reaches its antipode. With 2 rhombics and some relays to switch termination points a mighty potent signal can cover a lot in 4 directions.
You can do the same thing even cheaper, and probably with slightly higher gain, with two lazy H antennas for 20-10m :) I have one lazy H pointed east & west, and am itching to build one that points north & south, once the leaves fall off the trees... -- All rights reversed. _________________ Topband Reflector
