Cecil, Looks to me like a 108' flattop, 40' up, fed with 44' of 450 ohm line
might get less than 2:1 across 80 meters with 250pf variable caps. The magic
numbers are 3.8 mhz and 132pf for 1:1. No lossy coils.

Thanks Gary, with a little modeling and experimentation, almost any
reasonable antenna problem can be solved. It's not enough to say,
"A G5RV is a terrible antenna". The question that should be asked is,
"Exactly what is wrong with a G5RV and how can it be fixed?"
