G5RV wire antenna HF multiband

Invented by G5RV amateur, R. Louis VARNEY published for the first time the technical documentation of its antenna in November 1966.

The G5RV wire antenna have 2 versions: 1/2 half size, about 16 meters long, covering 4 HF Amateur bands from 7 to 30 Mhz 40/20/15/10m, or full size of about 31 meters long and covering 5 HF bands from 3.5 to 30Mhz: 80/40/20/15/10m.

- Multiband with excellent result on amateur bands 80/40/20m, good on 30m and 17m, and average for 15/12/10m
- Efficient for local traffic and DX when placed high above the ground above 10 meters (7m minimum)
- Small footprint and lightweight portable

To use G5RV in multi-band, without any risk for transceiver, the G5RV antenna must be associated to a tuner.

Delivered to assembly: 2 long wires, 2 insulators mounted at the end of the 2 wires, 1 ribbon cable connector SO-239 (UHF-Female), assembly instructions.

This antenna need to be use with a coaxial cable of 50 ohms with a length of between 14 and 28 meters recommanded. For use in multi-band, without risk for the transceiver, the G5RV antenna requiere a tuner.

The ribbon coax cable must be held vertically for best results G5RV the antenna should be mounted as high as possible, with its center at least at 7 meters from ground (10 meters ideally), and can be mounted in horizontal or inverted V position (with an angle between 90° and 120° max).
