In the past, I have used a 2-element 10 meter yagi.
Unfortunately, a G5RV is a mediocre antenna at best for bands other than 20
meters for which it was actually designed.

Hello John,
I use a dipole monobanda of wire for 40 m when the satellite is closest to my
station. When satellites moves away from my station, I use a 3-element yagi for
10, 15 and 20m. Unfortunately until now I could not work stations out of Brazil
in mode A, considered that Brazil is a count
Crossed dipoles and a preanp worked for me.

Hello John
This may not apply to you but I'm sure some others will benefit I have a 4
element cubical quad at about 50 feet. It is tuned for about 28.3Mhz. Now at
29.5Mhz the reflector is acting like a director and it actually "hears" better
off the back than the front. I noticed this ba
John. I dont know about the G5RV...but at the St. Cloud House in Clear Lake I
can hear it with a homemade J Pole, two dipoles 90 degrees to each other and a
converted CB whip... The RX is a very well maintained Heath SB 300 and a Radio
Shack 10 meter box
At Santa Fe (our "gentlemans farm") n
I've been using my BuddiPole. Seems to work OK.
