Frank, The length is irrelevant - 100 ft or 100 metres, with that load impedance the Wireman 551 ladderline is lossier than the RG213 - that was my point. Steve ______________________________________

I didn't use any SWR chart. I used formulae involving the matched loss and the magnitude of the mismatched reflection coefficient. The mismatched loss was greater than the matched loss. The formulae

Jerry, Then if those formulas fall down with the particular values I gave, they are approximations. Look at it this way: at HF the losses in feedlines are predominantly I^2R losses - the higher the c

Yes, IF (and only if) you pick your point along the line for that short line you can pick a line that has lower loss. But the loss per cable length is based on the total loss of a line many quarter w

Don't get me wrong, adding the 15M wire to the 80M G5RV will work just fine. A 40M version for a G5RV is the same antenna except the antenna and feed line is just cut to half size. It will not work o

The idea was to provide a resonant dipole for 15 meters on any flavor or G5RV, but certainly mainly for the 102 foot true G5RV. The other is a half size G5RV. Besides a 3:1 SWR on the 102 foot versio

I believe when that antenna came out, there were only 4 bands in that range - 80, 40, 20, and 10 meters. Which is why the antenna is so bad on 15 meters since it was not part of the design. Carl More

Yes, he did state that it works on the other bands. His reason for the design was for a 20 meter antenna which would fit in his garden (back yard) and give him gain in the directions he needed. The o

No, the position taken is that G5RV designed the antenna to provide what he wanted on 20 meters, therefore the original design was a gain antenna on 20 meters. The fact that it works other bands with
