[Elecraft] OT: [was Flumoxed]

[Rose]

It's unfortunate that there's not enough room on the reflector to
illustrate the relationships involved.

At the appropriate angle an inverted vee dipole mimics two of the four
lobes of half of a rhombic.

Actually, if the truth were known, the ease of installation with just one
support is the determining factor for most ....

And, a rhombic "wastes" much radiation in achieving the gain it does
produce.

Later I'll have more OT comment about the absurd G5RV.

73 !
