Ham Radio Antenna G5RV Multiband

Just installed this home made full size G5RV wire antenna. The feedline is made with perspex spreaders ( 34') The top section is 51 ' per side. Works well through my Diawa A.T.U and has a very low noise floor on receive. I need to get it a bit higher to eliminate the bend in the open wire line . Ive since installed a balun or more precisely a choke coil , between the open wire line and the 50 ohm coax.. (see my other video for construction details etc.) This antenna replaces my Windom.

Hi Chris, spacers are 2" They are held in place with a small wrap of about 22swg enamelled wire going from each side over a small notch in the end of the spacer cheers.
