I first learned of the G5RV Antenna back in early 1963 in Malaya ~ as
the Editor for the *M*alayan *A*mateur *R*adio *T*ransmitter *S*ociety's
/NewsLetter/ . Jim, 9M2DQ (a rubber estate manager) sent me a copy of
Mr. Varney's article; a simple wire antenna that covered 80-40-20-15-10
Meters.
It became a popular antenna in South-East Asia ~ with many using it for
chatting on 14.320 MHz ~ which became the SEA-NET in 1963 and beyond.
I have fond memories of using it at 9M2JJ for two and a half years at
the Secondary Trade School; where I taught as a Peace Corps Volunteer.
Cheers, Jan K1ND
