Hello,
When I think of a Sloper Antenna I think of it as a technique of loading the
tower. The tower has about 1/2 of the current and does half of the
radiating. If the tower is grounded the current is almost constant through
out the entire tower according to EZNEC. I use 25 ohms to ground with EZNEC
calculations. If the tower is not connected to earth the bulk of the
current is at the top. The Sloper can be attached to the tower at the
center of the tower or elsewhere too.
73's,
