Review on πŸ“‘ Authorized Dealer: MFJ-1778 G5RV Wire Antenna for 80-10 Meters by Randy Holt

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Easy to install and excellent performance

This G5RV 102' will not function as a 80m antenna except in the Marconi configuration. As a dipole it is very good on 20m and 40m, depending on the setup, and usable on other bands. For an 80m balanced dipole, the G5RV Max (204ft) is available. I have no doubt that with the right broadband tuners the G5RV antennas can deliver high performance at a very reasonable price compared to many other antennas. -1 star because I don't think this G5RV should be advertised as an 80m antenna. Thanks very much!

You do need a tuner to take advantage of this antenna. But you need one anyway....
