[Elecraft] Rhombic antenna "gain"

[David Olean]

I was a lowly 2nd Lieutenant at Ft Monmouth in 1968. I was going thru a 
tropo scatter class. I used to love to drop in to K2USA in that wooden 
barracks building.  I don't remember much except that it was waay cool 
to me.  I wonder if there are any pictures of the place online?
