Those of you that work with sloper antennas, I have some questions. I
have an unbalanced wire with a center connector running 450 ohm latter
line. The top is 60' feet and the bottom is about 8' above the ground.
I'm not sure what you mean. Is this a doublet, or just one size (like a
zepp)? How long in wavelengths? 1/2 wave?
The antenna is aimed South. What would the radiation pattern be of
this
antenna. Would it be South or would it radiate in some other
direction.
I have never taken an inverted V antenna and made a sloper out of it.
Is
such possible?
If it is a half-wave dipole, at any angle between about 30 and 60
degrees, it will tend to have a pattern that will emphasize the
direction to which it is sloped. As it gets more vertical, it will have
a more omni-directional pattern, and more horizontal, a more broadside
pattern.
