Topband: 160m Sloper on Crank-up tower

[Michael W Elliott]

I am trying to use a 160m  sloper on a  TRI-EX  54 foot crank-up tower.  
 
I have a L bracket affixed to the top section for the connection utilizing PL-259.   The sloper wire is approx 143 feet long using formula of   260/1.825 mhz.   Basic operation of wire to  center conductor and  shield to tower.
 
Has anyone successfully gotten one of these slopers to work on a crank-up ??
 
Did you have to run a wire from the top section to ground ??
 
Impediance is 60 ohms  but can see 50 ohms at 2.000mhz
 
Any help would be appreciated.
