Hi Patrick

The height depends on the ground to a large extent.

The old adage  is as much wire or aluminium as high as possible!

No otimal height for a G5RV as the antenna is forced to work anything
between 160 and 10 metres.

Subject: half wave length height equation

Group,

I remember QST had an article on how to figure the optim height for a
horizontal antenna, and of course I can't find it at the moment.  I am
trying to remember the equation to figure out half wave lengths.

Does the following sound correct?

(H (in feet)=300/f (in MHz))/2 ?

With the recent conversation about verticals I want tofigure out the optim
height to hang a pair of G5RVs.

73s,

patrick
