The other night I heard Jan N6AW working
Europeans and Russians on 30m 
Most of the DX I could barely hear !!
He said that he was using a Rhombic  350 meters
in over- all length  aiming Europe.
HE was putting out an absolutely awesome signal !! with 200 watts!
getting 599   from ZS6QU   off the side.
I told a friend here in Colorado, he said he was pretty
sure that Jan was at  QTH of silent key - W6RR.
Does anyone here know what  Towers & Antennas comprise
this station at former W6RR ??
Can  Rhombics be effective with Metal supports?
I always here about the tall telephone poles supporting Rhombics?
Thanks in advance  -  I do appreciate the awesome BRAIN trust
and experience on this reflector.
