Review on 📡 Authorized Dealer: MFJ-1778 G5RV Wire Antenna for 80-10 Meters by Jeremy Gulledge

Suspended between trees about 10 meters away. I originally used it with a RTLSDR key to receive HF/SW. For that it worked really well. Once I got the HF setup I started to see its limitations. Plan to use an external tuner. The internal tuner of my IC-7300 works excellently on 40 and 20 meters (maximum SWR 3:1). I can tune 80 meters in the tuner's "emergency" mode (max SWR 10:1, limited to 50% RF power). I haven't tried other ranges yet. The design is compliant, although the center section solder joints and SO-239 connectors are fully exposed to the weather. I covered the exposed wire with silicone sealant. Time will tell how sustainable that will be. However, it's not too expensive and will get you on the air.
