- The G5RV is simply--as an antenna--a 102' length of wire center fed. This length has been used since the late 20s or early 30s with parallel feeders to balanced link-coupled antenna tuners. The G5RV

- Rather than a G5RV, I suggest you put up a simple doublet (dipole) fed with tuned feeders (open wire or twin lead). It will have as good as performance as the G5RV. The G5RV isn't magical. It is mere

- Another way to do this is to use a short run of shielded parallel line. The ARRL Antenna book describes this better than I can, but in essence it is two equal lengths of coax with the shields connect

- Mike, What you are experiencing with your G5RV antenna is as it should be. The G5RV is resonant antenna (but not 50 ohm impedance) on 20 meters, and presents reactive (but reasonable) loads to the tr
