I have mine setup like a dipole, not like a g5RV, in other words my twin lead is not vertical at all, and I need a tuner everywhere but the only place an internal tuner won't tune it is 160 and it plays very well. I have had a couple breaks where the feed line attaches and likely the next time will be the last but you use as much glue and electrical tape as I did, that might be a while. I'm looking forward to trying to get the cobra ultralite up though when the g5RV does break again or when I move out of here, what ever comes first. Basically, when I have to take the G5RV down, this one won't be going back up except maybe in a backup/ special event situation. ----- Original Message ----- From: "steve" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, June 30, 2009 8:49 AM Subject: Re: Alpha Delta DXCC VS.
