G5RV Antenna Homebrew
The idea of using ladder line as a transformer is not new by any means. This antenna, in the 102' length, is designed to perform well and offer multi-band operation while offering the ease of using coax to feed it

Off Center Feed Dipole OCFD
The OCFD antenna in NOT a 'Carolina Windom' or G5RV type antenna, there is no radiation from any part of the vertical feed line. On the OCFD antenna the balanced feedline is just a feedline
The G5RV
The G5RV is an excellent all HF band antenna. It works well on 3.5 to 30 MHz. It's a dipole, using 14 to 10 MHz wire, fed with laddar line
The basic g5rv multiband antenna
G5RV multi-band antennas achieve very good SWR values on the individual bands without an adapter. The exciting question is how these impedances are to be adjusted to 50 Ω
The G5RV antenna
Its dimensions are specifically designed so it can be installed in areas of limited space, but which can accommodate a resonably straight run of 102 ft for the flat-top
