[ICOM] G5RV Dipole

[Tony Lord]

Hi all,
 
On 80m the only antenna I have is a G5RV dipole, rig is an IC756 Pro II. The
antenna will not load up directly. I also have an AH-9  auto antenna tuner.
On the G5RV dipole the open wire feeder terminates to an in line SL259
socket, here I connect some co-ax and at the AH-9 I twist the centre and
core of the co-ax together and feed the AH-9 directly. Is the right thing to
do?? Or would I be better off connecting one side of the dipole to the
antenna terminal of the AH-4 and the other side to earth??
 
Would appreciate any comments and advice
