[Steve Katz] I agree with you, although others have reported their G5RV's working all the planets and several distant galaxies with no problems. I guess "whatever works" for you is the right thing t

NEC-4 can model every detail that you've mentioned, and many more, e.g., insulation on the wire, both lumped and distributed loading, and traps. If you know what you're doing, it works. I've modeled

At least people want to talk to you in Alaska. I guess Oregon isn't THAT bad. I worked my first 100+ countries on an inverted-vee with the peak at 35' or less (just above the house.) So I know about

But a G5RV, including one rigged as an inverted-V, is _not_ an inefficient antenna, and no one should avoid using it because of comments like "I wouldn't mount a G5RV as an inverted vee; actually a G

Just happens, I disagree .. no modeling, just experience, especially in early 80s .. G5RV worky worky, but no way as good as a full real dipole, with no antenna fuses holding up the parade .. really

Not anything like us here. That's one reason why you guys can start runs to Europe a couple hours earlier and keep them going a couple hours longer than us. And yes, it helps to be closer to them by

I'd agree with you Hasan. Also, keep in mind to that the currents and voltages in each leg of a dipole are opposite in both sign and in phase. I've read some literature that suggests you actually get

Thank you for making this important point, although "any" may be a slight overstatement. You are correct that, if an antenna is more than a half-wavelength long, then bending it (e.g., into an invert

It should be like that as we are that much closer to EU. Of course, when there is Aurora, or cndx are disturbed, we hear a lot of Auroral buzz and the guys in FL kill us. That's when being 1000 mile
