This shortened 160m sloper is an ideal compromise antenna to get you active on Top Band. Overall length is 23 inches, schedule 40 pvc for extra durability. Includes 70 ft of wire (terminated with porcelain end insulator), grounding braid approx 12" with ring terminal.

Do you want decent performance on 160 meters?

If you have 45 feet you can be on top band with this fantastic reduced length sloper antenna. The feedpoint of this antenna needs to be up about 45 feet. The antenna itself slopes for 68 feet away from the feed. This antenna can handle up to 1 KW PEP on SSB. The 160m Reduced Half Sloper loads 120khz below 2.1:1SWR when properly trimed/tuned, and the entire 160m band 1.8-2.0 Mhz at 3.1:1 or less. As stated before, half the entire band is below 2.1:1 or less without a tuner. Slopers are generally omnidirectional with a bump in directivity in the direction of the slope.
