 Hi Chad:

   I have read that G5RV don't work very well in an inverted vee configuration.  Evidently, there is some wave cancelling due to the fact that you have both vertical and horizonal radiators.  I have one in an inverted vee configuration (only one support available) and it performs very poorly on all but the lowest frequencies.  Just a thought.
