Hey guys.

 

I saw a few items in a Google search where guys had converted their
full-size G5RV into a T antenna on 160m.  It had something to do with adding
the obligatory counterpoise and shorting the feedline.  This would turn the
antenna from a horizontal radiator to a vertical radiator.

 

Anyone have any info on this?  Or can you refer me to a source?

 

Mike, WA9PIE
