Bzzzttt.   Requires a good ground.  Try the 1/2 sloper.  The tower will
act as the "good ground" and be more efficient and less messy.  I used
this antenna at my QTH in Lilburn and it worked VERY well.  I could easily
work Europeans on 80M CW with 100w.

PS:  Be careful taking antenna advice from a guy who spends more time
fishing than he does operating the radio.  :)
