someone tried to feed a type g5rv antenna with ŽeuropeanŽ zip-cord ?
Would yield a simple ant, peel the first say abt 15- 17 meters, splitting
them up to the dipole part and the the rest X meter to a balanced tuner etc.
Hi Per,
Hard to apply the name g5rv to this, but that makes no difference
anyway. Simply call it a dipole driven with close spaced twin lead.
That twin lead will be 50 to 70 Ohms characteristic impedance. It
will also have a suspect dielectric loss. This does not make it a bad
antenna. There will be the usual high loss with high SWR - depending
upon the gauge of the wire.
In short, no worse than an ordinary antenna used outside of its
natural resonance.
