[K3CAL] 160 dipole help

[lumadue charles]

I can see a lot of you are trying to build antennas.
160 meter is not as hard as they tell you. First a G5RV is junk on any
band. Don't try it dont talk about it.   If you have a bad antenna they
won't talk to you. Maybe someone will tell you to check it out.
 Now it's about the wire and doing the math. I think mine is 245 feet on
each leg. Do your own math.
I have had mine half on the ground and it still worked. It worked laying on
the grass.  A in line one is best like in the book.  But don't be afraid to
try what you can. It will work.  Make a square,a loop, a zig zig and get it
in the air.  SEE YA  AB3LE                                             PS
mine was a full size G5RV before. Never put it on the air. Changed plans
and turned it into a plane dipole.
