Thank you all for your input. I will do some experimenting.

Will it have any effect, good or bad, if the feed end of a 60 foot sloper

Many things come into play that determine how an antenna will work. You
always have to work within the constraints of the situation in which you
live. Best bet is to give it a try and if it works out well then you are
set. If not then you will have to try something else.

With a single element antenna ground is important since it is the other
half of it so install at least one ground rod where the antenna starts
out near the ground. Here I'm assuming you are going to use coax from
the radio to where the antenna begins.
