Default H F Antenna - BWD-90 VS G5RV

I'm still trying to decide on a ready-made HF antenna. I have a couple more
questions.

Can the Barker & Williamson's BWD-90 really be used without an antenna
tuner?

Does the G5RV really need an antenna tuner?

Wow, there's a 7:1 price difference here! Hope to be QSOing soon, instead
of emailing.


Bob, check out www.cebik.com for an
anlysis of the B&W antennas, G5RV's and
others.

The B&W antenna radiates better than a
dummy load of course, but is less
efficient than alternative antennas
burdened by other constraints.

We haven't quite reached the "one size
fits all" stratum yet.
