I still think if you have room for a 105 foot antenna, it's way better
to put it up as a dipole and feed it with twin lead. There is nothing
magical about a G5RV except on 20 meters. On other bands it is just
some wire that you force RF into with a tuner. I can do that with my
80 meter dipole on any band.
Threads tend to stray from the original question. Remember that the
original post in this discussion was from a ham who didn't have room for
a half-wave dipole on 40M, and the best advice he got was to fold the
ends down to fit it. He also wanted to cover other bands, so I added the
advice of building a fan dipole for those other bands.
