Topband: Full size sloping dipole???

[Jose M. Valdes R. YV5LIX]

Hello all,

For this weekend contest I could set up a center feed full size (+- 260
foot) sloping dipole that will be hung from a 10 story building and will
slope down to my back yard.

The question is:

1-. Will such an antenna be any good on 160?

2.- Will this be a better RX antenna than my current 130 foot (1/4 wave)
sloper that is using a tower/antenna system as support?

3.- Will this be a better TX antenna than my current 130 foot (1/4 wave)
sloper described above?

The layout of the current 1/4 wave sloper using a tower/antenna system as
support may be seen at

Have a nice day and to the ones entering the contest good luck.
