With all due respect, Denny, where did you get your description of the G5RV--in

Walt, did you happen to miss Denny's signature line?

denny / k8do (busily trying to extract tongue from cheek)

Yes, Cecil, I saw Denny's signature line, but I wasn't sure just how far his
tongue protracted his cheek. Sometimes tongues get stuck that way, just like
kids who get cross-eyed while misbehaving.

Denny, as I just now looked SSE from my southern window I discovered a
near-field radiation from a OCF dipole, IDing with K8DO call sign. On looking up
that call I learned why that signal is in the near-fleld zone--it's only 26
miles away in the direction of light travel from my window. If K8DO was using a
balanced G5RV the signal would have evaporated before reaching Mt. Pleasant.
Ever hear of that town? Open yer NW window and yell, I'll hear 'ya.
