Hi;
Has anyone tried this mystery antenna?  It sounds shorter than some versions of the g5rv.  Also, I thought the g5rv was particular as to how you routed the feed line.  If this antenna has similar problems, they aren't mentioned.  They suggest that you only need supports for each end which would suggest you don't absolutely have to have anything in the center.  Does this use twin lead for part of the feed line?
