[Antennas] G5RV

[David W Sher]

If you have space for a G5RV feedline, and a small tuner (e.g., MFJ-902)
which you will probably need with the G5RV, just take along enough wire
to put up a doublet, Vee, or similar,  you will need only one support for
the Vee configuration.  You might also consider using ordinary TV-type
twin lead instead of ladder line if necessary.  It should handle up to
100W
