I wanted an invisible antenna so i m starting with an attic mounted g5rv antenna.
G5rv jr attic.
You can see it s clear of metal objects and the ladder line goes off to the right at a 90 degree angle.
Half size ham radio antenna.
G5rv best dang antenna i ve ever used he bragged.
With the peak of my g5rv jr.
It was invented by louis varney.
My worry is how can i satisfy my own and my xyl wife s concerns about rf in our house especially in the bedrooms immediately below the attic.
Marc n4ufp and i get together to talk about build and test the zs6bkw antenna.
The junior version from mfj that covers 40 meters through 10 meters on the ham bands.
The better your antenna the more success you will have making contacts.
Mac af4ps fp 51 note.
I assume that anyone who has a g5rv or g5rv junior in their attic has done so with ceramic spacers and has zigzag or dog leg installations or otherwise has contorted the antenna to fit up there.
Designed as 3 2 wavelength antennas for 14 mhz they provide reasonable performance on many other bands.
This is a much much better performer than the heavily marketed g5rv.
The history and basic theory of this antenna dates back to 1946.
This project gives instruction on how to build my version of the g5rv wire antenna that is used on the 10 40 meter ham radio bands 28mhz to 7mhz.
Not ideal but i m avoiding.
Some were not amused others shook their heads and a few actually agreed with him.
Antenna mounted as high as practical.
They cover all bands from 40 10 meters with a wide range antenna tuner.
This was installed at a previous qth i will be the first or millionth remember i m from fl to affirm that the antenna is the determining factor for success when it comes to one s station set up.
Mfj 1778m g5rv junior wire antenna multi band center fed dipole antennas.
Then we heard a long testimonial about how he d set one up in his parents attic and worked a ton of dx how he still uses them to this day and how they re the perfect antenna for working all bands.
These are multi band center fed dipole antenna capable of 1 500 watts.
