Stuart - I thought 15m was one of the better bands for impedance on the
G5RV. On my modelling it produces a VSWR of <3:1 on 15m - that's low by
G5RV standards!

I don't believe this idea will work. The SWR on 15 m will be OK near the feed
point but will be really high at the end of the balanced line that connects to
the coax.

Something I have suggested to many is to add a sloping 15 meter dipole,
(2 ea 11 foot wires) to the feedpoint of their G5RV.
That should give you a better match on 15 m while leaving the other
bands near the original performance. The old concept of paralleling
dipoles for multi band coverage.
