Topband: sloper antennas

[D Andersen]

Hello,

When I think of a Sloper Antenna I think of it as a technique of loading the 
tower.  The tower has about 1/2 of the current and does half of the 
radiating.  If the tower is grounded the current is almost constant through 
out the entire tower according to EZNEC.  I use 25 ohms to ground with EZNEC 
calculations.  If the tower is not connected to earth the bulk of the 
current is at the top.  The Sloper can be attached to the tower at the 
center of the tower or elsewhere too.
