I've been using a 102 foot G5RV for years now with my Kenwood 440.  The
built-in tuner handles it well, even on 60 meters.  I can't speak to your
yard situation but it seems like that would be enough room to squeze it in
as an inverted vee.  This antenna has worked far better than I expected it
to.  Lou WA3MIX
