I had a sloper version of this antenna about 15 years ago for
listening purposes. Excellent reception, and built like a tank.

I wonder what the performance difference would be between the inverted
'V' and the 'Sloper?' In light of your comment below, the end-fed
sloper might be a better choice easthetically.

It's pretty visible -- not exactly a stealthy antenna, but works
awfully well.

That's good to know. I suppose the antenna element insulation is
black not gray. I wonder if there's any way to change that. I
suppose a latex-based paint would work to change the color to
something less obtrusive until it pealed off. Any thoughts.

Thank you for sharing your first hand experience with Alpha-Delta
products. Much appreciated.
