[Elecraft] Monmouth pics - Rhombic antenna "gain"

[David Olean]

Hi Mike,

Thank you so much.  Those pictures are so great. I remember the inside 
of the building with all those "studios".  Thanks for showing them. I 
love that Signal School podium too.  I spent a summer at Ft Monmouth in 
a class with 16 officers learning all about the REL-2600 tropo system. 
All my instructors were civilians as I recall.  It was a great experience.
