We also had several Collins original *S* Line setups. We had a 600' per leg
rhombic pointed at Southern California, Camp Pendleton. They were are main
outlet for RTTY traffic.

One of the hams here in town has a rhombic of similar size. The
largest/longest antenna for me was a bi-directional sloped Beverage
that ran NE/SW for a little over a mile through the woods. The ends
were terminated at six foot high on both ends and the mid-slope was at
12 feet. I used it during my contesting days as a spotting antenna,
but I could switch it to transmit quickly.

That antenna was freakin' loud man.
