Are we talking half slopers or quarter wave slopers here. ..... shield
bonded to the tower at the top.

Ed I was talking exactly about such (quarter wave ) sloper and I have
had shield connected
to the tower at the top. SWR was 1:1 on both 160 and 80m but there were
independent
wires for each band connected to a coax by realys. I still use this
system on 80m and
its not bad but I have very good soil. For sure shunt fed tower will be
the best solution...
but as I wrote I can't use it on 80m as the hat is too big. It was even
not problem with matching
because I was able to do it but reports from far located stations were
worse than on sloper..probably too high
angles...so I stay with slopers on 80m (quarter wave) till now.
