Suggestion 1:  Why not shunt feed your 90' tower?  I'd bet it would 
knock the socks off any sloper or Inverted-L hung from that same tower, 
and it isn't any more difficult to build.

## I have used  half slopers b4, with great success, but never tried oneon 160m.  I might give it a try, when the HDX-689  get's installed this spring. One big advantage is the max current point gets elevated  way up. A few yrs back, I had a 96' trylon, with no yagis on top, and used the 80m1/2 sloper, at the  38' level...  dead flat on 3820 khz.  Best 1/2 sloper to date. In that case the attachment point was NOT at the top.   I'd give the 1/2 sloper a tryb4  you try shunt feeding, etc.   You may get lucky.  Jim  VE7RF
