Hi Jamie,
The G5RV antenna was first published in the RSGB Bulletin in July 1958, six years after the 15 meter band was opened to hams in the USA. An excellent article about the G5RV and related antennas is here: www.mpoweruk.com/papers/G5RV.pdf 73 Frank W3LPL ----- Original Message ----- From: "WW3S" <[email protected]> To: "Andy Durbin" <[email protected]> Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 20, 2020 9:16:47 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] The G5RV trivia When G5RV first designed the antenna, the 15m band was not yet available for amateur use....the original article is out their on the web somewhere...
