Anecdotal evidence. First note he says 160 meter G5RV, one could assume he
has doubled the size to 204 feet to meet this claim. Run a 204 foot dipole
through EZNEC on 40 and you can see why the claims may be valid in some
directions.
I didn't look at it but just noticed 'nvis' in the title.
Of course, a dipole at 7 feet will have near-vertical gain
over a G5RV at 50 feet. Near-vertical gain is NOT what the
majority of hams desire. Near-vertical gain is the antithesis
of DX.

The claim is that a dipole 7 feet off the ground has
a 10db gain over a G5RV at 50 feet.
Is that possible, or hype?
