Default Doublet Antenna question

A G5RV would fit and meet your needs for all band operation with a tuner.


Hi Fred,
The standard G5RV is a pretty good antenna for 80m, 40m, 20m, & 12m.
Not bad on 15m, but the SWR on the coax for 30m, 17m, & 10m is
greater than 40:1 according to EZNEC.

I have optimized my G5RV for 40m, 17m, & 10m operation by making the
series balanced section 36 feet of 450 ohm ladder-line.
