[Elecraft] Monmouth (was: K3/0)

[Mike Markowski]

Ted,

I was told there had been two rhombics, one pointed at Europe in case 
the Cold War ever got a little warmer!, and one to southeast Asia to 
support the Vietnam War.  At some point after that war, the SE Asia 
pointing rhombic came down in a storm and was never repaired.  That left 
just the EU one.  On my K1 I had to convince an op or two in EU and RU 
that I truly was qrp.  :-)

73,
