Biography

K0UO has a large rhombic antenna farm at the Kansas QTH 1200 acres four Rhombics and three V Beams 1200ft on each leg all at 100 to 160 feet.
Steven Walz, known as K0UO which is his amateur ham radio station call, has an antenna testing range site known as "Antenna University", and The Rhombic Antenna Farm which has the use of over a 1200 acres around the main antennas for far field outdoor antenna test range measurements The Rhombic and V Beams are beaming to fourteen DX areas, with phasing for more steering. There is also a large distributed fed curtains arrays, LPDA on 195 foot towers, and six to 8 1500 ft beverage receive antennas. K0UO is home of the Re-entrant Rhombic, which is 90% efficient by re-phasing the power instead of heating up termination resistors.
