Default What is the Best Direction to 'Point' a Sloper Antenna for DX ?

What is the Best Direction to 'Point' a Sloper Antenna for DX ?

Given an area where you could locate a Sloper Antenna
with a Tall Mounting Pole "Top-End-Feed-Point' and the
ability to move the Bottom-Far-End around the full circle
of 360 Degrees.

Where would you place 'Point' the Bottom-Far-End for the
best DXing ? [ N ? E ? W ? S ? ] & WHY ?

Given that it is claimed that in general the Sloper produces
it's best reception in the direction of the Bottom-Far-End.

Coax Cable to the Feed-Point and Top-End-Feed-Point.

Thinking of Rigging a Par Electronics EF-SWL Antenna
as a Sloper or buying one of these Pre-Make Slopers.
