I use to run a double sized g5rv.  One thing to remember, and it has 
been a while since I read up on this, the ladder line is part of the 
tuning and the length of it is dependant on the volocity factor and so 
forth.  If you double the wire, you need to double the tuning stub.  The 
advantage is that it really works well on 160, where the standard one 
does not.
