I feel your pain. According to this site (HamOperator.com and klick on the AH-4 links) you can use your AH4 with open wire line, so if you added a 1:1 balun to the coax at the end of your G5RV (assuming it has coax at the rig end) and then a short length of open wire line to the ant terminal and the earth terminal of the AH4, you should have a workable system. A better approach may be to put up a dipole 80 meters (as you have the room) and feed it with open wire line direct to the AH4, it should be an effective antenna on all bands from 80 meters upwards and wont cost much to put up in time or money.
Good luck and hope to work you some day on HF
