I've looked at some commercial "full size" G5RV's and the leg lengths are about 51 feet long each, that seems a tad short for 80 meters. Would I experience quite a bit of loss in the tuner ( External ) Or maybe I should try and erect a dipole with leg lengths as long as I can and feed it with 450 Ohm Ladder line or 300 Ohm twinlead and be able to operate on 30 meters ? I understand the G5RV doesn't work too well for 30 meters, and I need some place to operate during contests. My primary bands of interests are 80 thru 20 CW. Hi Gary, take a look at http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp/notuner.htm for some information and ideas. -- 73, Cecil, W5DXP ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= East/West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |
