[TowerTalk] Half slopers using a tower

[Stephanie WX3K]

My tower is 65 feet with a Mosley Pro95 beam sitting just above the thrust
bearing. The "Half-Sloper" is hung at a 45 degree down at the 50 foot
level.....about 128 feet of wire...fed at the 50 foot level with 50 ohm coax
and the shield ground right there on the tower. Anyone ever try this ??? The
match I have is still unacceptable...2.5 to 1.....Any suggestions ?
