Another thing to consider is that the length of the 450/300 ohm twinlead

I have to chuckle when you bring this up in a discussion of that true
chimera, the G5RV. I've heard so many antennas called G5RV's that the
term means nothing any more - kinda of like scotch tape.

So yeah, I guess we should call it a doublet. Of course, all doublets
are dipoles at some point, and all dipoles are doublets.......
