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.
