I replaced a long in the tooth 80 meter dipole this weekend with a G5RV...it was getting dark so left the 80 meter wires cut for
3505 and used the 450 ohm ladder line. not a 3/2 but I wonder what can I expect from this longer configuration? I'll get a chance to
go to the 102 foot length in a couple of weeks. Will I like it this way? So far the tuning seems ok but finicky.
