Nope, not high at all on any counts!

The G5RV is up only about 20 feet.

Probably won't change anything this season, since there are only a few 
week-ends left, but will try to get it up higher next year.

We have already reserved our seasonal spot for next year, and the manager is 
fine with me leaving the antenna, or at least the support ropes, up during 
the winter, so there is no problem in that regard.

Will keep everyone posted.
