"At that point it is no longer a G5RV, is it? It's more
like a McCoy dipole.
Tom K5IID"

 Tom, using multiple resonant lengths of ladder line,
eg, 33' 99', etc would provide the same characteristics
of feedpoint matching of the G5RV but without the coax
loss.  It's the coax loss that is the killer when not
operating at resonant frequencies.  Without the coax,
this is a great antenna.
