There have been comments in the past that a horizontal loop is really not
much good for DX communications. However, a rhombic, which is just a
horizontal loop with the far end cut and terminated, was used by major comms
companys, and some W6s !

If a folded dipole performs like a normal dipole, why doesn't a horizontal
loop perform like a rhombic ?
