[NLRS] 1296 Rhombic?

[Doug Reed]

You can find another excellent discussion of the 
dual rhombic antenna on the www.cebik.com web page. 
As I remember conclusions were similar, many side lobes and touchy to
build. But the is a certain allure to building an antenna from a few old
sticks and some wire. But doesn't the terminating resistor have to
dissipate some large portion of the transmitter power? The need for a "high
power" terminating resistor made me decide it was a receiving antenna.
