New to ham radio. Playing around a bit with FT8. My experience is that I am receiving signals generally at fairly high positive numbers +13, +22,...
New to Ham Radio. Have an ICOM 7300 and a 102' G5RV. Antenna center is up in a tree about 40' with the legs in an inverted V down to about 10'...
My G5rv has broke. I'm going to build a ZS6BKW. My question is. When building the antenna, If i put the antenna up around 10 feet to adjust and...
The ZS6BKW is becoming a popular alternative to the G5RV as a compromise multiband dipole. I put it in the air one month ago and have been putting...
GREETINGS. my G5RV once i tune the swr down (external antenna tuner) the swr creeps up slowly as i talk, sometimes depending how i tune the swr...
I intend to build a 1:1 choke based on a T240-43 ferrite wrapped with RG58 coax to install at the feed point of a G5RV. I'm a believer in the...
Let me start that I'm new to the hobby and need explanation of this issue. I had an aluminium wire inverted V. The wires were roughly 7 meters...
I'm about to install my 1st G5RV as an inverted V but also with each "Flat Top" end angled toward each other somewhere near 90 degrees, likely a...
As a beginner ham, with a general license, I am thinking of using a G5RV antenna for my (used) HF radio. What is an entry level (inexpensive)...
I am inviting all ham radio and shortwave listeners to try my wide band WebSDR system located in the Washington DC area. The coverage is...
Hi Amateur Radio Friends - I have always used a balun w/ my G5RV Junior (40-10m) dipole, but unfortunately I need to replace it due to wear and...
Hello All, Got a question for all the Icom 7300 or LDG IT-100 owners out there. I just recently got the Icom 7300 added to my radio shack. I was...
So from some of the diagrams I've seen, it looks like one connection of a ladder line connects to the feed point of the coax while the other...
Hello All, Recently moved into a house with no HOA so I want to get a good antenna up for a future ham shack. I been doing research and the G5RV...
The items I will use is, 450 ohm ladder line 14awg stranded copper insulated wire SO-239 Connector I read that the length of each leg should be...
Hi Friends: Over the last month my SWR has been flickering when tuning regardless of the band resulting in default issues when I transmit. My...
I have a g5rv with 300ohm twin lead tv line and a balun with about 75’ of coax attached. I have a majority of the coax is coiled and tucked into...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Hi Friends: First I must confess I’m not technically smart, hence my post to you all. Recently I have been unable to tune my...
I was proud last summer to raise a G5RV between two trees with a loop system I designed using ~3" diameter PVC adapters. These were tied to loops...
I've got a G5RV at about 29'. Being hung lower than optimal, in addition to poor band conditions lately, it has been hampering my DX'ing. It's...
