[Elecraft] The G5RV trivia

[Andy Durbin]

My 3rd edition RSGB Amateur Radio Handbook dated circa 1965 includes, on pages 387-388, a section on "The G5RV 102 ft Dipole".   It includes a description of how the antenna should be configured and how it works for each of the following bands - 1.8 Mc/s, 3.5 Mc/s, 14 Mc/s,  21 Mc/s, and 28 Mc/s.

Clearly in 1965 the antenna was intended for multi-band use.

( I used that handbook to study for my unrestricted G3 license and it has been with me ever since despite a 40 year beak from amateur radio)
