A friend is giving me his old r5 vertical.  We are putting it up Wednesday
when it is supposed to be 55DG.  Screw work!
Now, I assume it works on 20-10 meters?  How do I tune it for each band?
Does feed line length mater?
What about radials?
How wide should it be on each band?
Can anybody send me the manual?
And finally how well does it usually work?
I will be lashing it to the railing of my tin roof flat porch, ten feet off
the ground.
Oh is lower power 52 ohm coax okay if I am running 200 watts DC or less?
