Hi Guys,

Our hospital has a G5RV on the roof of the two story building.  We have been 
given an 80M Van Gordon Dipole.

We use the HF rig with a tuner on 80 and 40M for local island wide 
communication, up to 200 miles, basically NVIS.

Question:  Is the dipole a more efficient antenna?  Or should we just leave 
up the G5RV?
