I'm putting up a G5RV fed with homebrew ladder-line

Put another way; shoud the overall length of the ant
be 102' or 102' 3 1/3" ?

I know it's nit-picking and the tuner will handle it,
I just want to know what's "correct".

(A thousand pardons if this has been asked over and over.)

See Cebik's G5RV article at

http://www.cebik.com/g5rv.html

for the length of the dipole. G5RV was ballparking his measurements,
since an antenna tuner is used to fine-tune the system...
