[Elecraft] OT: Sloper Dipole Question

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

You are in good company, Chuck... that's pretty much how Marconi did it =
100
years ago.=20

String up some wire... tinker with the feed... get a little current... =
work
some stations... eventually even DX clear across the Atlantic...

Some things never change, no matter how much we analyze, quantify, =
qualify,
and question them...

Well Gents....let me tell ya....

I just took my now infamous sloper out to the Park across from my house,
strung=20
it in a tree (center-fed end down) and got 5/9 report from Marin County, =
CA=20
(I'm in Sacramento) and 4/8 report from Salt Lake City on 40M with 10 =
watts.

I think I'm leaning toward the "it doesn't matter" camp.

Thanks again guys for the discussion and comments.
