I need to replace the coax on my G5RV  antenna.  Can  someone tell me the length of the rg8x portion or how to calculate this?

I think if I recall correctly the antenna is 52 or 55 per leg with 30 something for the 450 ladder line.  

I  discovered last night that the coax was missing from the rest of the  antenna when I was gathering parts for this weekend's camping trip.  I plan to take the 430 and the tuner as well so will tune  the antenna as needed.  

Also, while on the subject, anyone got a good method for getting a leader line over a tree branch to hang  the antenna from?




thank you!
