51 ft. center-fed with 15.6 ft. of 300 ohm line assuming a VF of 0.9.

It's 1.5WL on 10m fed with 1/2WL of twinlead.

It will work well on 40m, 20m, and 10m. Not well on 17m and 12m.
EZNEC says a 50 ohm SWR of 21:1 on 17m and 73:1 on 12m.

The G5RV Junior (40-10m) or half size G5RV is exactly that, HALF SIZE. Hope
that answers your question.

I personally use a 40m halfwave dipole fed with 45ft of sloted 300 ohm TV
ribbon connected to about 6ft of 75 coax cable into the shack for 80 - 10
metre HF operations with a tuner. Nicknamed the 80 metre squirt by some it
works quite well for a 66ft flat top and well suits my limited space.

to Answer your question 1/2 the size of an ordinary G5RV 51 foot
flat top and 15ft (approximately, depends on V.F. of line used) stub.

if you have room put up as much wire as possible and feed it with open
wire back to the tuner.. 88 feet works out quite well for 80-20 or 44
feet for 20- 10 .
