The Slope Antenna Demonstration

Carlos, KB5YEG, has offered to give me an antenna he says is a sloper.


I, not knowing what a sloper is, had to find out so I looked on Youtube.  My research uncovered the following  video which explains a sloper is a plain-center-fed dipole; that is simply tilted.


The guy in the video is actually speaking about another fellow's expirament (Dave) who subsequently put up 3 or 4 more slopers. 


Check the video out:

New Video for Two Ham Friends, Dale - kj4uhr and Jim (Don't remember call sign - sorry)

I decided to make this video because I got the crazy idea that I  might be able to record the sound of the staff swooshing by my head.  It didn't work out very well for that purpose, but I did take the opportunity to show you some of my front yard. 


I'll be looking for you on the Freewheelers net... 73s.
