G5RV

rcbenedict1545
The open wire feed line on the G5RV is a matching section for 20 meters so it's length and impedance is critical  That's why the ADs say it works on 20 but needs antenna tuner for other bands.

The same technique is used on the Butternut vertical only it uses 14 feet of 75 ohm cable.

End of thread.

We are now at 27 G5RV posts in less than 24 hours, several time the limit for OT
posts.  In the interest of relieving email overload for Elecraft focused readers
and others, please take further discussion off list.


(Please self moderate in the future and end these OT threads when they get to
5-10 posts. I am not always available to close threads.)

Also, this is another of those list discussions that reoccur here over time.
Much of this info is repeated in prior posts that can easily be searched for
using 'G5RV' via the Elecraft  list Nabble archives at:
