Couldn't rhombics be arranged in arrays?  Couldn't rhombic be stacked or 
curtained?  It seems to me the VOA receive site at Furstfenfelbruk, Germany 
(spelling???) were curtained rhombics arranged in a triple space diversity.  
These certainly performed well.

What kind of arrays were at Delano?  Dipole?

Curious minds want to know.
