G5RV

This is another great antenna. This is primarily my main station antenna currently. Useable from 80M to 6M via an antenna tuner. Additional details of this wonderful antenna are available here.

 

Note however. I have discovered a few things about this antenna. Although I can tune it to 160M with my antenna tuner, it is unwise. 2ndly, I would suggest not using a balun at the end of the feedline (especially if using high power, as core saturation might result). I have ran the feeder directly to my antenna tuner (it has balanced ant terminals). Also, I have simply used 300Ohm TV ribbon as the feeder for this antenna, with good success.
