[Elecraft] OT: G5RV antenna

[Bill Frantz]

I kinda like my 160M coax fed half wave dipole. I can get 
something out of it on all bands with the K3 tuner, although 80M 
is very marginal. I have a couple of FT8 QSOs with Quebec on 6M 
using it, although the azimuth pattern looks like a porcupine.

However, for most purposes, my 8 band trapped vertical is better 
on the high bands.
