I have operated on both an 80 meter G5RV and an 80 meter Carolina
Windom. Both performed well, but I lean towards the Carolina Windom.
The SWR on the Windom is below 3:1 on all bands and my internal tuner
has yet to have a problem matching it to any frequency. I resolved
the problem of the vertical arm by supporting at the feed point with a
fiberglass mast at 40 feet.


Shorten the series section transformer length on the G5RV to 22 feet
and you will have no trouble tuning it to a match on 75m.
