Was the W6AM site originally a commercial site?  I hadn't heard that before.  As I understood it he built the Rombics himself.

  Because back in the day, the commercial operators had fixed links, so an 
array of rhombics worked pretty well. W6AM just inherited an old HF 
commercial site. And these sites were built in pre-Yagi days (before 
WWII)... Once you've done the investment, why change?
