I used the B&W for a while here, and find the AlphaDelta DX-CC Works better
and can handle the Amplifier.. BEWARE the ratings on the B&W!..
The antenna is good to 250W RTTY or full duty use, and 500W Voice..
Spend your money on a Different antenna!..

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

Any antenna can be equipped with a resistor that will
dissipate so much RF energy that a tuner is not required.
A dummy load will do the same thing. One review of the
BWD-90 says it is the biggest air-cooled dummy load in
the world.

Does the G5RV really need an antenna tuner?

Yes, unless you install a resistor at the coax/twinlead
junction.
