[SMCARA] What to expect from a G5RV....

[William S Merritt]

Tom Rausch, W8JI, a noted engineer and designer of ham products 
discusses the G5RV...

http://www.w8ji.com/g5rv_facts.htm

In particular he comments:
"...The G5RV has a _reasonable SWR_ on 80, 40, 20, 15, and 12 meters./It 
is not an acceptable performer on 30, 17, or 10 meters/.'

and:
"While the G5RV requires an antenna tuner, it is very efficient on at 
least 5 bands."
