Subject: Re: Topband: 1/4 wave sloper..aka half sloper.
I am using a modified Alpha Delta DX-A 1/4 wave sloper attached at approx 72
feet on my 86 foot tower. I removed the loading coil and now have 5 wires
whch are two full size 160m wires, two full size 80m wires and a 60m wire. I
don't need a tuner on any of these bands. It needs slight tuning on 30m. I
worked Amsterdam Island on cw with it.
