Update to earlier review - now EIGHT-BAND DXCC Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Updating my earlier review below: 16 months ago I added the 12m, 17m, and 30m endorsements to make it 8-band DXCC, and as of 11/2014 I have 256 countries confirmed (I keep my QRZ page updated). VERY happy with the results, in what I consider an average installation.

Done right. No anxieties. Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have been using the G5RV as my sole antenna for HF and six meter. Presently , and over five years. I am thankful for its design and performance. It has been very good with my resources : time, money, mounting requirements. And offers no actual concerns about weather or service life. If this antenna had not been a good near and far performer, I would have replaced it with a different style.

OX cart of radio antennas Time Owned: more than 12 months.
POS G5RV all band antenna one leg down again. Can stay down , never worked for ! any way. Signal report up north on dedicated 80 meter V all most 3 times the G5RV. G5RV is the OX cart of radio antennas. Will get you there but slow and no one hears you and all you se is BUT. Don't work any better on 20 meter. If you only can put up 1 antenna put up an antenna for one band or suck hind teat. If I was going to a Excrement fight a G5RV antenna would be my first choice to take for ammunition. That is my review.

A+ Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Built a g5rv today and a 4:1 balun put it up and will not be taking it down. This thing works!!! And it cost me $4.56 to build.

Great performing Antenna Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Purchased the G5RV Multibander wire antenna from AES. Comes completely assembled and ready to install. Components are of high quality as is the assembly.Length is 102 feet, with 30 feet of 300 ohm down feed into a Balun that is sealed with 50 feet of mini RG8, does not come with 259 connector. I have it strung between two trees that are 96 feet apart with one end @45 feet up, the other end at @35 feet up with the center feed point at @32 feet. The G5RV is connected to a LDG AT 100 Auto tuner which is providing SWRs of 1:1 or less on all bands. So far it is performing Great!, I switch between the G5RV and a Hustler 4BTV with a 17 mtr add-on.
