Just put up my shortened 160 meter sloper this weekend. Its 92 feet of wire with a 27uH coil at the feed point which is at 7 feet off the ground so I can reach the coil to move the tap lead and the opposite end is supported by parachute cord at 70 feet in a big hickory tree. The coil is one that I had and is made to screw into a 3/8" x 24 thread antenna mount and the mount has an SO-239 connector to attach the coax. I mounted the coil under the eave of my back porch roof out of the weather and the ground side is connected to my metal roof for now. With no taps selected it covers the bottom of the band, the first tap covers the middle of the band and the second covers the top of the band. Had it on the air last night for a couple of local contacts and it seems to work well for that. Will try it out more this evening when I get time.
