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

K0UO is working on the "Lost Art of Rhombics" with four of these large wire antennas, and two 1200 foot V-Beams (VEE) at the Kansas QTH. These are beaming to the eight main DX areas, with phasing for more steering. There is also information on large distributed fed curtains, LPDA, and beverage antennas. Home of the Re-entrant Rhombic which is 90% efficient by re-phasing the power instead of heating up termination resistors

See my call on QRZ, https://www.qrz.com/db/K0UO, or type in my call K0UO for more information and photos. Each Rhombic antenna uses 1000s of feet of 3/8" cable. They are erected on 100 foot wooden utility poles, also the site has two large V 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!

Wow this is a 200' tower pulled up with a 90' gin pole. Roy W7YRV/SK "I did this all by myself with a hand winch and I had to get a picture to prove that I got it this far up in case of a mishap."
