[Towertalk] inefficient 1/2 sloper vs inverted-v

[lsica@attbi.com (lsica@attbi.com)]

Well, since it's pretty much agreed that an insulated-
from-the-boom LPDA is NOT a good top hat for a half 
sloper, the next question is what is a better low-band 
DX antenna, an inefficient half-sloper or an inverted-V, 
both with apex at the same height (45')? The half sloper 
may be more of a "low angle" antenna, but is the loss 
due to the lack of a sufficient top-hat enough to make 
it second best even to an inverted V?
