Topband: 160M Rhombics

[Mike Waters]

There were a lot of tall tales told about W6AM's rhombics. Don't base a
desire to have a rhombic on those fables.

And that's where the term "California Kilowatt" came from. I'm told his
rhombics were loud mostly for that reason. I forget what tubes were in his
amp, but they sure weren't 6V6s. ;-)
