You make a good point, John - A rhombic seems like only one wire, but really
it's two V-beams connected together, and a V-beam is two elements. Rhombics
also can be used on more than one band, with generally more gain and a
tighter pattern the higher you go, plus greater effective height. I'm not
much for the idea of a "wires" category, but if there was a "wires" category
it might need to specify single half-waves, or a maximum amount of wire in
the antenna in terms of wavelength. Or something.
