Hello Lou

I am surprised that an auto ATU is coping with the G5RV, but if it works
then fine.
I would be interested to hear if you are getting a good match on 21 megs
with it?
As I have mentioned on this list before, the modern commercially built
G5RV antennas are not as Lou Varney designed them, but have been
modified to meet modern commercially available wire.  He also described
a matching system specifically for his configuration - before coax was
available in amateur circles.


I use a noise bridge between my t/rx and amp, and use resonant antennas
where I can and then use home brew pi LC circuits of the usual form of
two variable capacitors and a roller inductor.

Tuning achieved by one of the RF Applications audible meters.
Incidentally, I was talking to a U.S. ham here in London at the weekend
and he uses one of these also, so it isn't just us blinkies who use
them, maybe RFC haven't got their marketing right!

By the way, I have two which will cope with up to 3 kW!
