OT: G5RV/2 dipole questions

[Yew Hoo]

I'm getting a Heath novice station together, and need advise about
this antenna. I don't have room for a full 80m dipole so I'm looking
at the half length G5RV/2. (its 51 feet long, and i have 55' available)

  which novice HF bands will it work? (have ant tuner)
    ( 80m, 40m, 15m, 10m )

  does the 30' feed stub need to be free and clear (i.e. is it a
radiator also?)  -- one leg will be up 25' level and the other will
slope down to 15'. The 30' feed stub will be close to wooden building
structure (no metal) and come close to shack entrance.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
