Steve,
If yu can handle a full sized one 102' and you'll be very happy. Now you can
build it yourself OR you can buy one from various vendors. Me I decided to
"stay as true to G5RV's article" and bought a G5RV from W7FG.com as it is
tru ladder line and actually is only two wires from the PL259 connector to
the end. simple and it works. http://www.w7fg.com/ant.htm

G5RV 80 - 10 Meters (102 Feet)
With 31 feet of Ladder Line.........................$35
Requires Coax from supplied UHF Male connector to equipment.


Believe me, if I could I would! But I'm in a condo and I don't have a
great deal of real estate in which to put up a decent-length antenna.
I'm having to content myself with 40-10 on the G5RV and a 2m vertical
for VHF operations. Hopefully I will be able to change over to a better
G5RV configuration soon, plus some beams for VHF and UHF, but that's a
ways down the road.
