- Hello All: Alpha Delta makes a sloper for 160-30 Meters. They advise to use against a tower. Would I have any luck running a wire down vertically as I do not have a tower? Ken N2XY __________________

- Ken, you need to be more specific. If you don't have a tower, then you have to have some kind of a support. It might be a tree or a mini-pole on top of a house - something. Whatever it is, if it is n

- If there has to be vertical wire, it would be much wiser NOT to ground it. RF power forced into soil produces no signal. So called "half-slopper" antenna is a dipole (as most antennas are) deformed s

- You can run one dipole leg vertical, and other horizontal, or zig-zag, or in any other fashion. Resonant frequency will change slightly, but that's easy to correct. Look at "Low-Band DXing from a Sma

- Nice example of what I did recommend to Ken. Call it any name you like, I just see a good old trapped dipile, distorted to fit the space. Adding the second "radial" is also a good idea. Nice to see

- The sloper tends to favor the direction of its lowest leg. However, an alternate antenna, is to bring off the half wave as a sloping leg, then at the center feed point, angle back toward the support,
