There are two types of sloper, the full sloper, really a dipole mounted with one end higher than the other. The half-sloper (EMCOMM II) is fed at one end with a “ground system” or counter poise provided by either physical ground if fed at lower end of sloper. If the sloper is fed at the top, then other factors provide the “ground”. In most cases, a sloper mounted on a tower, then the tower and importantly, the beam mounted on top, act as the counterpoise.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne successful version of the sloper (most folks call any kind of sloper simply a “sloper” regardless of its type) is one that is fed with coax. The antenna is fed from the top and installed on a tower with a beam on top. The center conductor of the coax feeds the sloper wire and the shield is carefully bonded to the tower structure. In addition the beam, rotor, and mast are electrically bonded to the tower (here a heavy braided strap connecting the mast to the tower is recommended). The theory is that the sloper is fed at the top and the high current point is high just under the beam, leading away from the tower.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"x-el x-el-span c2-14 c2-15 c2-3 c2-6y c2-1g c2-6e c2-6z\"\u003eInverted \"L\" Installation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is most likely the least expensive high performance antenna you can erect for 40M, 80M and 160M (limited performance). It is worth investigating since it needs only one high point in the relative clear to be effective (the horizontal far end can be at a lesser elevation, details later).

So it would be good if this can be kept in the clear, or several feet away from your tower, and of course, as high as you can make it. The horizontal part may slope downward, or bent several times to accommodate any obstacles. Keep in mind, the more you bend the element back on itself, the more of the radiated signal is canceled out.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSometimes it is not possible to have the vertical section longer than the horizontal section.

The sloper may exhibit some gain in one direction, but usually has omni direction pattern. There are two types of sloper, the full sloper, really a dipole mounted with one end higher than the other. The half-sloper (EMCOMM III BASE) is fed at one end with a “ground system” or counter poise provided by either physical ground if fed at lower end of sloper. If the sloper is fed at the top, then other factors provide the “ground”. In most cases, a sloper mounted on a tower, then the tower and importantly, the beam mounted on top, act as the counterpoise.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne successful version of the sloper (most folks call any kind of sloper simply a “sloper” regardless of its type) is one that is fed with coax. The antenna is fed from the top and installed on a tower with a beam on top. The center conductor of the coax feeds the sloper wire and the shield is carefully bonded to the tower structure. In addition the beam, rotor, and mast are electrically bonded to the tower (here a heavy braided strap connecting the mast to the tower is recommended). The theory is that the sloper is fed at the top and the high current point is high just under the beam, leading away from the tower.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe sloper has been reported to be hard to get to work in some cases.

So it would be good if this can be kept in the clear, or several feet away from your tower, and of course, as high as you can make it. The horizontal part may slope downward, or bent several times to accommodate any obstacles.

The Chameleon Antenna SKYLOOP 2.0 is a 286' full wave loop antenna cut for 80M.

This transformer converts the high impedance of end-fed antennas to 50 ohms, ideal for modern transceivers. By reducing the Standing Wave Ratio (SWR), the 5:1 UNUN maximizes signal strength and efficiency, minimizing power loss and enhancing broadband performance across various frequencies. This ensures optimal power transfer, reduces RF interference, and supports multi-band usage. Constructed with durable, high-grade materials, our 5:1 UNUNs perform reliably in all conditions, delivering stronger, clearer signals and improving both transmission and reception quality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block paragraph\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"2jtbu\" data-offset-key=\"35i7m-0-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-offset-key=\"35i7m-0-0\" class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-offset-key=\"35i7m-0-0\"\u003e\u003cspan data-text=\"true\"\u003eEasy Installation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-offset-key=\"35i7m-0-1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-text=\"true\"\u003e: The end-fed design allows for flexible installation options, including horizontal, vertical, and sloper configurations.
