Homebrew G5RV
A homebrew G5RV (PVC pipe used for center insulator and mast)
| G5RV Size | Legs | Vert. radiator (300 ohm twin lead) |
| 10-40m | 26′-6″each | 14′-3″ |
| 10-80m | 51′ each | 29′-6″ |
| 10-160m | 101′-6″ each | 53′ |
Notes:
- 1. Use a minimum of 50 feet of coax (I prefer RG-8X) for 10-40 meter size and 100 feet of coax for other sizes.
- 2. You can “hardwire” all connections (solder and waterproof) or use 1:1 balun (CT) for twin lead to coax connection if concerned with TVI as I was operating from an apartment (or 8-10 turns of 6″ diameter on coax for homebrew choke may work for you). Spi-Ro Manufacturing makes neat baluns with screw terminals (www.spiromfg.com).
