Hi Listers.

I know this subject has probably been beaten to death over the yerars 
but here goes.

I am going to sneak an antenna on the roof of my apartment building.

Although I could put up a full size 80 meter loop, I am afraid of being 
able to keep it up since it would be installed on pvc pipe attached to 
several vent pipes along the way.

The wire itself can get heavy and once snow comes that gets much worse 
so have  decided to keep it simple and put up something like a g5rv  or 
a carolina windom.

I believe there is also some kind of g5rv copy made by alpha delta and 
some say its a better antenna.

I don't know.

My concerns about the carolina windom are that the feedline radiates.

I believe this is also true of the other antennas I mentioned but maybe 
to a lesser degree.

I really don't want to much radiation from the feedline so as to reduce 
the possibility of interferring wit other peoples equipment in the building.

My primary bands of interest are 40 and 75 but I would like an antenna 
that performs well on as many bands as possible grin!

I know the g5rv is usually very bad on 10 meters and I would like to be 
able to use that band at least once in a while but 75 and 40 are the 
bands I give the highest priority to.

Any suggestions welcomed.
