If you used 300 ohm ladder-line, like The Wireman's
#561 or #562, you did indeed deviate from G5RV specs
by making the ladder-line length equal to 31 feet.
For that particular transmission line, 1/2WL on 20m
is around 28 feet.

Yes, and thanks
I actually emailed the supplier as there are no markings at all
indicating type on the ladder-line cable, but based upon description, I
have the 300 ohm line. Per your advice, I'll try shortening the
transmission line. Yours (and even Owen's) advice are always appreciated.

I simply won't be belittled or badgered, well, for ANY reason.

I really do listen to you guys, but practicality and time constraints
rule the day.
