ZL3SV Antennas & QTH

 

 

 

                     

The 50 ohm coax in to 600 ohm open wire line out (12:1 ratio) balin is on the left. The Antenna is high on a hill about 80 metres from the shack.

This is the centre feed point of the (1500 feet) 500 metre centre feed sloper antenna.

 

 

 

This is the low end (over 200 feet above the road). The 500 metre long, centre feed sloper antenna is on top of a hill and provides good gain on all HF bands.

This is the low end of the sloper that ends at a cliff top with the road below and swampy flat farmland beyond.

 

 

 

 

Photo of the lower end of 500 metre centre feed sloper .

You may be able to just see the wire from left to right near the tree tops.

The photo shows 1/4 of the lower end of the antenna.

You can also see 3 valley's it crosses and despite the way the photo looks it is well clear of the trees.

 

 

 

Above - 500 metre Centre feed Sloper antenna feed line with lower end of antenna dropping below - feeder line is 450 mm spacing - 600 ohm

500 Metre SLOPPER ANTENNA SPECS

- 160 metres to 6 metres- SWR less than 1.6:1 - 25 wavelengths on 20M

I also have a half wave 160 - 10m slopper Antenna with reflectors for 80, 40, 15 Metres but it is 3-4 S points below the 500 metre sloper.
