The myth: "Contrary to oft stated views, the Classic G5RV is not
an all band antenna, it: does not have acceptable feed performance
on any WARC bands;" Quoted from: http://www.vk1od.net/G5RV/

12m is a WARC band. The standard G5RV performs very well on 12m
band. Therefore, the above statement is a myth. (Hey, this silly
myth game is actually fun.) :-)

As I explained one night (on 75m from Halifax) to G5RV, his antenna is
essentially a dipole of non-resonant length with a mismatched feedline that
is used as a tuning section. My preferred method of using antennas of that
nature is to put a 300ohm line on the feedpoint and simply tune it in the
shack with a good, balanced tuner. The antenna will then perform well on
any frequency the tuner can match.
