This thread is a long one and frankly I didn't follow it at first, but a little 
research says that the OP was interested in bringing a coax feeder directly into 
the radio from the end of a wire.  He incorrectly called the coax a 
"counterpoise", instead of an extension of the wire which it really is, because 
it's going to radiate, but never mind that.  In this case, the antenna is a 
"sloper" whether it is called that or not.  If one end is higher than the TX 
then there is a vertical component to the geometry and the radio chassis is the 
"counterpoise." :-)
