I saw a few items in a Google search where guys had converted their
full-size G5RV into a T antenna on 160m. It had something to do with adding the obligatory counterpoise and shorting the feedline. This would turn the
antenna from a horizontal radiator to a vertical radiator.



Anyone have any info on this?  Or can you refer me to a source?

When I lived on a suburban lot, I phased my G5RV against a ~100-foot tall insulated base tower. I had two unidirectional patterns and two bi-directional patterns from that system.
