I know handbook descriptions have declared this for years. They're simply
wrong. The folded part is a transmission line, it doesn't radiate and it has an
impedance different from the antenna. Why not just add a hundred feet or so of
transmission line to a 10' dipole and call it a 160 antenna? Doesn't work, does
it? Use the same logic on your example and it doesn't work either. Sorry.

Let's see, 102 + 33 = 135. Isn't that pretty close to the length of an 80 Meter Dipole?
The G5RV looks like two back-to-back inverted "L" antennas. The twin lead is
not feed line but part of the radiator.
