Hi list.
I just ordered a G5Rv, and would like to ask you all for advice on how to install it.
I've never put up a wire antenna before, and my help has never put up any kind of antenna, so I'll have to provide the know how.
Here's my situation.
I plan to put it up as an inverted V.
I have 79 feet by no more than 20 feet to put it in.
I didn't measure the width.
I cant attach anything to the house, so it will have to be a free standing mast.
I don't have room to put in guywires.
My shack is on the second floor.
Now for my questions.
How much free standing mast can I safely use?
What do I do with the ladder line?
If I understand right there is 33 feet of ladder line, and it's not a good idea to have it near metal.
Thanks in advance for any help, and 7 3.
