It's hard to say how to make something better than something for which
we have no description. Surely it can't be too hard to short two
conductors together.

One question, if shorting the leads to feed the g5rv "marconi style",
would it be better to connect the single wire to the antenna tuner's
random wire connection, or to the coax connection, or does it matter?

How much current will actually flow in the center conductor of the shorted
coaxial feedline? The single wire connection makes much more sense.

I never liked the G5RV antenna since it just seemed like a high loss method
of feeding a 102 ft piece of wire.
