Unless a self-respecting radio amateur wishes to set up a
point-to-point communications link, he would not consider a rhombic
which wastes half the transmitter power in a resistor.

How popular are rhombics, such as you describe, amongst amateurs?

There are, of course, some rich, perhaps contest participating
amateurs, with time any money to burn. I have no objection to their
existence. They are very welcome to the fraternity. They demonstrate
just what can be achieved.
