Bill, it's probably time for you to know.  The G5RV antenna is one of those
things in science sort of like the Luminiferous �ther, Phlogiston, N-Rays,
and the Luxembourg Effect.  Y'see, the G5RV is a myth.  It really doesn't
exist.  I know people have been telling you all about it since your
childhood, but it's time to understand that the G5RV does not bring
chocolate eggs and candies to your home on Easter (nor does it leave coins
under your pillow in exchange for extracted teeth, for that matter).

This question seems to arise every Easter.  I suppose it's because of the
Z-match transformer that most people don't use, and the generally cruciform
design of the thing.
