[R-390] Original Antenna Used with R-390 and R-390A

Craig,

If you were an 05H in the Army Security Agency, you used your receiver 
with a whole antenna farm of Rhombic antennas. You shared your antenna farm 
with some few hundred other 05H's through some CU 872 antenna couplers.

Your antenna farm covered 360 degrees. Your Rhombic's shared there two side
towers with adjacent Rhombic. They were likely 100 to 130 foot towers 
depending on the lay of the land. Your farm field formed a 180 degree vista. 

If you were a signal corp communicator doing both sending and receiving.
Likely operating RTTY, you had a dipole cut to your exact operating frequency.
You were likely operating over 15Mhz and had a couple 50 ft telephone poles
for mast. You may have had a curtain antenna or two for diversity operations.

You likely had a farm field of antenna's to work different links at different 
directions.

I just know aver one of those antennas was a kit and had part numbers and 
nomenclatures.

Today I just have as long a wire as I can get into the air.
