[Elecraft] G5RV

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

End of thread.

We are now at 27 G5RV posts in less than 24 hours, several time the limit for OT 
posts.  In the interest of relieving email overload for Elecraft focused readers 
and others, please take further discussion off list.


(Please self moderate in the future and end these OT threads when they get to 
5-10 posts. I am not always available to close threads.)

Also, this is another of those list discussions that reoccur here over time. 
Much of this info is repeated in prior posts that can easily be searched for 
using 'G5RV' via the Elecraft  list Nabble archives at:
