Firstly, you already sent me the rhombic plans a few years ago. Thanks again. But, good as it might be, I'm not inclined to install it. Just not doable for a range of reasons.

My second antenna is a simple wire dipole. Works well also. Remember, I'm just a few blocks from many of the FM broadcast locations. Plus, sorry to say, I just don't listen as much as I used to, despite having 20 or more good FM stations, including the world's best jazz station WBGO.
