I just started on hf bands and i usiing now a FD4 from Fritzel and I hear
all goods things about the G5RV.
Is that so, works it's also great on 10 and 15m?
I have not to much space for a full size beam but a mini beam works also
good I think. But most of beginners started with a wire like a G5RV???
If I buy a G5RV is that with a Balun or without a balun what's the best??

I have a "shorty" G5RV -- the full-length version goes to 80m, and
there's one for 160, but mine only goes 40m to 10m -- which does a
fairly decent job. It's not mounted in the best of places, due to the
need for me to be somewhat stealthy at my condo. I also run only QRP
power levels, mainly to mitigate the risk of interference complaints
among the neighbors, and have managed to make more than my share of
contacts using 5w on phone from 20 to 10 meters during contests like the
recent ARRL Sweepstakes. Hopefully conditions (and available operating
time) will be good for 10m this month for the ARRL 10m Contest.
