[SADXA] 160 meter DXCC

[Jerry]

Thanks Larry:

My tower is a 70 foot with about 15 feet of mast out the top. I am loading 
the tower at about the  70' point in a fashion very similar to a  sloper, 
except the sloper wires don't  go out to some point from the 70 foot level. 
There are two sloper wires but they come down along side the tower to the 
10' point where  they then run parallel to the ground at the 10' level and 
away from the tower. Its very effective, radiates like a vertical and needs 
no counterpoise.

Jerry
