"W5GT" wrote in message ... I've had poor luck even using the G5RV as an inverted V. Dave - W5GT "Frank" wrote in message news:iXIMe.184795$9A2.66584@edtnps89... "News Xtra" wrote in message ... Guy. My best option is to install a G5VR but having one half bend back 90 degrees horizontally so that when you look down from the top it is L shaped. My question is, will this degrade performance very much and in what way. Many thanks and regards, John ZL2TTM Need more information: How high is the antenna, what type of transmission line do you plan on using, and what frequencies will it be used on? Bending the antenna will reduce the real part of the input impedance, thus increasing transmission line losses. It will also tend to increase its directivity in the direction of the "vee". The G5RV antenna tends to exhibit higher transmission line losses. See the extensive analysis at www.vk1od.net Suggest you obtain the free download of EZNEC from www.eznec.com then you can analyze the antenna for yourself. Also there are many free programs available for transmission line analysis. Probably Reg (G4FGQ) has one for free. Regards, Frank (VE6CB) |
