Re: [Elecraft] The G5RV trivia
Hi Jamie, The G5RV antenna was first published in the RSGB Bulletin in July 1958, six years after the 15 meter band was opened to hams in the USA. An excellent article about the G5RV and related antennas is here: www.mpoweruk.com/papers/G5RV.pdf 73 Frank W3LPL - Original Message - From: "WW3S" To: "Andy Durbin" Cc: "elecraft@mailman.qth.net" Sent: Friday, March 20, 2020 9:16:47 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] The G5RV trivia When G5RV first designed the antenna, the 15m band was not yet available for amateur usethe original article is out their on the web somewhere...

[Elecraft] The G5RV trivia
My 3rd edition RSGB Amateur Radio Handbook dated circa 1965 includes, on pages 387-388, a section on "The G5RV 102 ft Dipole". It includes a description of how the antenna should be configured and how it works for each of the following bands - 1.8 Mc/s, 3.5 Mc/s, 14 Mc/s, 21 Mc/s, and 28 Mc/s. Clearly in 1965 the antenna was intended for multi-band use. ( I used that handbook to study for my unrestricted G3 license and it has been with me ever since despite a 40 year beak from amateur radio) 73, Andy, k3wyc __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
