Hi Yuri,

Presumably you are looking to replace the half sloper because you are not 
satisfied with its performance.

I am also using a half sloper, and I think it gives me excellent results. 
Like you, I have an HF beem on top of the 55 ft mast as well.  I also have a 
reasonable, but not fantastic, radial screen underneath.  I think I would be 
hard pushed to find anything better than the sloper for the height I have 
available.

In what way is yours not performing?  Does it not seem to radiate, or is the 
match not what you would like?

73, Greg, ZL3IX
