Fred and I don't use a tuner.

Then you and Fred aren't running the same G5RV that
most people buy and throw up. And then feed with a tuner. :/
That's why I say I'm not really talking about your antenna.
I know you will modify it to make it more usable. This is a
given. You are Cecil. But all those 1000's of users who don't
have the time or the clue to modify? Like Lurch would say
on the Addams Family...Gruggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... :/
