You are proposing a slightly shorter than 1/2 wave dipole for 75.
This should be no problem as it will have a little capacitive
reactance and a tuner should handle it.

Thank you, Steve. This was my main concern.


The G5RV is pretty much the same thing, except it has some feed line
gymnastics to get a "fairly good" (50 ohm) match on many bands. This
is nothing more than an "antenna tuner in feed line" which doesn't
require a knob rather than one in a box which does. (:-)

I have pretty much decided to just feed ladder line with a balanced
tuner rather than make a G5RV. This should give me more flexibility.
