Someone will repeat this and a new myth will be born. :-)

With all due respect, Denny, where did you get your description of the G5RV--in
Mad Magazine? Pardon me if I squash the new myth you just propagated.

The G5RV that I know of is not unbalanced, it has no top hat, it has no OCF feed
line, and if there is a balun between the open-wire and the coax the feed line
will not radiate. Seems like you've confused the G5RV with the psuedo-Windom,
eh?
