K0UO RHOMBIC ANTENNA FARM

The Mighty Rhombic is the "KING of Wire Antennas".

The ARRL, RSGB, Switzerland, and so many other amateur radio organizations use the Diamond Logo, which is in fact a Rhombic antenna.

K0UO is working on the "Lost Art of Rhombics" with four of these large wire antennas, and two 1200 foot Vee-Beams at the Kansas QTH. These are beaming to the eight main DX areas, with phasing for more steering.

See my call on qrz.com then type in the call K0UO for more information and photos. Each Rhombic antenna uses over 1/2 Mile of 3/8" cable. They are erected on 100 foot wooden utility poles, also the site has two large Vee Beam antennas which are over 1200 foot long each. Miles of wire in the air and on the Air. Build Them and the DX will Come!

The Best Antenna is one that is "In the Air and On the Air"! As any good antenna experimenter knows, the more antennas the better, that way you can test and see how they are really working. You won't know you have a good antenna if you can't compare it with others!

With a variety of antennas available and you can use the antenna that is generally more optimum for the particular distance, direction, and time of day is better than using an amp. All the antennas at K0UO have been field measured in the Far field, so I know where the RF goes.
