[TowerTalk] G5RV vs 40M dipole

[john at kk9a.com]

I had a similar situation with one leg of a lower frequency dipole last
month while operating as WP2AA.  I just added an extra insulator to the
dipole wire. stretched it out as far horizontally as I could and then bent
the remaining wire in a different direction. The SWR was fine.

I'm operating from a small lot in Florida winters, I have a 40M dipole up
but 
it doesn't quite fit my opening, it is into the branches 5 or 6 feet. I
wonder 
what the 51' G5RV would perform like compared to the dipole on 40, and as a 
bonus I might get some other bands...   Any ideas???de Dick
