Hey, all.

Does anyone know of an SWR chart that exists for the typical G5RV, giving 
approximate or expected SWR readings for  various bands?

If so, please send it my way.

I'm actually debating about whether to even take my TW1 out to the camp 
site, with the idea that if the auto-tuner tunes the G5RV as is, I'm just 
going to operate and have fun.

But, the professor in me may want to take a look at some SWR's, just for 
knowledge sake if nothing else.

Regarding this week-end, if I do get the G5RV up, look for me in the North 
American QSO Party SSB contest.  For those who don't know, the contest runs 
from 1800Z Saturday (2 p.m. Eastern), to 0600Z ((2 a.m. Eastern) Sunday, on 
the usual HF bands.  The exchange is very simple--just name and state or 
province.

If I get things up and running, I might also stop by 7.191 to see if there 
is any sort of a 40-meter East coast mid-west round table.
