Figure 72. Development of radiation pattern of
half-rhombic antenna.
b. The half-rombic should be at least two wavelengths long at the
lowest operating frequency. For example, at 30 MHz, two wavelengths
is approximately 65 feet. A counterpoise is used with a half-rombic
antenna to reduce ground loss.
There are four half waves in two wavelengths.
