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,
Don w7dd
