I understand that strictly speaking a G5RV isn't a multi-band antenna,
but my primary use of it is on 20 meters where it works pretty well as a 3/2 half-wavelength doublet. It's up about 55 feet now as a flat-top and I've been working plenty of DX with only about 300-400 watts out. Never satisfied, and always wanting improvement (it's a compulsion!), I'm wondering whether a half-square like the Windom HSQ listed here would be an improvement on 20 meters: http://www.antennasmore.com/windomhq.htm I've read that at 20 meters and above, there is more benefit to being horizontally-polarized at a decent height, so maybe I'm better off with the G5RV? Thanks for any thoughts. Chuck KB5GC |
