I would be interested to see the results for a half size G5RV (51ft) on its design frequencies of 10m,20m and 40m?<br />Best Regards<br />Fred EI4GMBFreddy McGavin EI4GMBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02838058259365201548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480750694693825336.post-76302501839502073012009-10-15T04:31:28.637-07:002009-10-15T04:31:28.637-07:00Hi,

But you're right - see my other post on what happens to a G5RV's pattern when you make it into an inverted V.<br /><br />Steve G0KYASteve Nicholshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03564402221894277279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480750694693825336.post-76681177555337438782009-09-18T07:26:01.559-07:002009-09-18T07:26:01.559-07:00Hi Steve,

I am no expert. <br />Cheers MarkMark GØNMYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10189173502729165876noreply@blogger.com
