G5RV 450 ohm or 300 ohm Phasing line
 

Hi all

If I choose G5RV Half or full size antenna what is the best phasing line to
use and why 450 ohm or 300 ohm. I will be using a internal ATU on my
transiever.

If I go for the full size G5RV I will have to use the first 66 feet straight
harizontal up at 30 feet and the last 36 feet at a right angle sloping at 45
degrees, will this work ok?

Thanks

Andy

Been using a full sized, coax fed G5RV here for 7 years to a Kenwood
TS450sat (auto antenna tuner) with no problems. Tuner tunes antenna
with no problem, and while I consider the G5RV a compromise antenna,
it works well enough.
