[TowerTalk] upgrading from a G5RV

[KI9A at aol.com]

Gang-
 
After some serious tree trimming, I now have room to fit a full sized wire  
antenna where my G5RV is right now. I am thinking about a 135' open wire fed  
dipole, as multi bands are needed. 
 
Question is this- there is now way I can get 450 ohm feedline into the  
shack.  The best I can do is about 30' of RG213, then the rest 450 ohm (  maybe 
90').  Is this going to be a waste of my time, or is it worth it? I'd  obviously 
use a balun to change over to 50 ohm feedline.
