Topband: Quarter wave sloper ?

[jim.thom jim.thom@telus.net]

Tnx for the quick response.

Is a CM choke required at the feedpoint ?
If  I can't fit the entire required length of wire,(I think I can get aprx
110-120')  can I insert a small coil at the feedpoint ?  Perhaps relay
switched, to obtain 2 x segments.
I'm toying with the idea of using the 75m rotary dipole at the top of the
mast as a possible RX ant for 160m....might be worth a try at least. The CM
choke at the 75m rotary dipole has 10.5 k Z on 160m.   I have zero room for
dedicated 160m RX ants. My corner lot is only 89' wide x 115' deep.
Monster house next door.  I have a power line running down the side street,
on my side.
