W8AMZ - G5RV Antennas are designed to meet NEC code and are made of high quality
components, including black insulated 14-gauge stranded copper wire. National Electrical
Code requires a minimum of 14 gauge wiring for permanent residential installation.
W8AMZ - G5RV Antennas are very rugged in design, utilizing 450Ω balanced Window-Line
constructed from copper-clad steel wire, to withstand high winds and rough weather. The
center insulator and SO-239 connector-ends are epoxy filled for truly waterproof construction,
resulting in a very strong connection to the Window-Line for enhanced durability and years of
trouble free service. The included light weight, high quality, PVC dog-bone insulators are 100%
UV-stable unlike common Nylon insulators.
W8AMZ - G5RV Antennas are designed to handle the full 2KW legal limit.
W8AMZ - G5RV Antennas are generally easy to tune using the antenna tuner built-in most
current model radios or an inexpensive external antenna tuner.
The W8AMZ G5RV Antenna is proudly made in the USA
Even more so, all except one component of this antenna are US manufactured

inverted-V as long as the angle of both sides is not less
than 60 degrees each. It is recommended that you
support and suspend the center of the G5RV as high as
possible. The matching section (Window-Line) should
descend at a right angle to the antenna.
