How do you have your G5RV's configured?I'm trying to locate a clear description of the antenna and can't find one. 
Ie: does the ladderline section drop down from the centre, so the antenna is like a T, giving you say, 51 feet on either side of the ladderline section or is the ladderline section closer to one end of the antenna.  
I'm trying to figure out the best way to install for the best performance. I can install it as a horizontal but it won't be exactly level. 
One end at my tower and the other about 8 feet off the ground at the other end. Now, if the ladderline section is directly in the middle of the antenna, I'm going to have to add more coax and come up with a way to keep the ladder line section from just flying around, tie it off somehow.
