Antenna Ham

Does a Ham Radio G5RV Jr. Antenna have to in a certain position to work?

I have a 51Ft long, G5RV Jr antenna in an inverted V the apex is @ 35 Ft. and the ends are about 12 Ft above the ground and it isn't doing well. I have limited space and I can only raise one end of the antenna up parallel to the apex and would have to leave the other end at a 45 degree slope. Would this improve the performance or should I leave it in the inverted V

If your apex angle is greater than 120 degrees you should be ok. If the Apex is less than 120 you will loose some performance and may have some issues. Here is a good article http://www.iw5edi.com/ham-radio/?g5rv-antenna,66
I found that raising the ends will make a difference. The only way to know is to try it! Experimentation in HR is what its all about anyway!

DX Zone http://www.dxzone.com/catalog/Antennas/G5RV/ has lots of good information as well.

I have one with the apex at 40 feet and the ends are up at around 15 feet. It works ok seems better than a normal "dipole". But I haven't done any "extensive testing" about the results either.

I also haven't tried the Jr. version which will be somewhat different http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/2070 has a good discussion on it. I will say a tuner is needed for it to work well across all bands, actually either version!
