This afternoon I managed to put my newly acquired G5RV up. It’s on a wooden pole at 8ft in the centre and about 6 feet at the ends. Just fits inside the backyard 🙂

It’s not ideal, will have to get it up permanently somehow in a better position but I can hear tons more on it than the previous setup already.

15mins after I put it up I had my first contact on 20m with Ken J07CVU in Sendai, Northern Japan. Looks like I might have fun!
