I have a G5RV antenna cut to 20m in my attic, fed to a tuner.
Obviously, there isn't enough room for the ladder line to extend all
the way down, so most of it is just routed horizontally from one side
of my attic to another where it meets my RG58.
This brings up another question. When determining health risks (i.e.
how far away you should be from your antenna) does the ladder line or
coax count as part of the antenna, or just the radials?
Thanks for the help.

Dan,
With a G5RV in the attic, you probably won't bust too many pileups.
Listen around for a really loud U.S. station, and call him. And yes,
the G5RV probably radiates all the way back to the radio, coax and
all.....
