[Antennaware] G5RV vs. 2 element yagi

[Eduardo Somoano C]

Friend Guy
You have the diagram of the G5RV that you speak.????
I look for the diagram of an antenna wire multibands that he/she has good
gain in DB for DX.
Thank you in advance. A hug.

A Force12 C3SS would outperform the G5RV without the loss of traps.  Since
25'
is nearly a half-wave on 20m you will be surprised how well a good tribander
will do at that height.

I am currently limited to a G5RV for HF following the demise of a miniquad I
was using.  I am looking at getting a Mosley 2 element tribander, but I
can't get it up very high right now-maybe 25 feet or so.

I know that the low height will hurt performance, especially on 20 meters.
Given the low height of the antenna, would it still be a much better
performer than the G5RV.  The G5RV isn't up that high either, but has done
nicely on 30m, 40m and 80m where I have been using it the last few years.

I guess I am just trying to figure out whether the 2 element beam would be
worth the extra money, or if it would be pretty similar to a G5RV, given the
low height it would be at.
