[Elecraft] Subject: The G5RV trivia

[Jan]

I first learned of the G5RV Antenna back in early 1963 in Malaya ~ as 
the Editor for the *M*alayan *A*mateur *R*adio *T*ransmitter *S*ociety's 
/NewsLetter/ .   Jim, 9M2DQ (a rubber estate manager) sent me a copy of 
Mr. Varney's article; a simple wire antenna that covered 80-40-20-15-10 
Meters.

It became a popular antenna in South-East Asia ~ with many using it for 
chatting on 14.320 MHz ~ which became the SEA-NET in 1963 and beyond.   
I have fond memories of using it at 9M2JJ for two and a half years at 
the Secondary Trade School; where I taught as a Peace Corps Volunteer.
