Burr,

READ - The Shortwave Radio Listener (SWL) :
Sloper Antenna -versus- Inverted "L" Antenna : The 3:4:5 of It !
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.r...7f982be7601f51

Basically your Sloping "L" Antenna -if- You start with an
Inverted "L" Antenna using a Ground Rod at the base of
the "L" with a 9:1 Matching Transformer and Coax Cable
feed-in-line.

Then Drop the Far-End of the Horizontal-Out-Arm so that
it is at or near the surface of the Ground.
-or- At Least a 30 Degree Angle of Slope from the Apex.
[ Angle between the Vertical and Sloping Wires is 60
Degrees or less. ]

You then have created your Sloping "L" Antenna.

For some frequencies related to the Length of the
Vertical-Up-Leg : 1/8WL, 1/4WL, 1/2WL 1WL . . .
You have an Omni-Directional Antenna Element.

For some frequencies related to the Length of the
Sloping Section : 1/8WL, 1/4WL, 1/2WL 1WL . . .
You have a Directional Antenna Element favoring
the direction of the Far-Down-End.

For most frequencies NOT related to the Length of the
Vertical-Up-Leg and Sloping Section : You will have a
Directional Antenna with a Heart Shaped {Cardioid}
Antenna Pattern that favors the direction of the
Far-Down-End of the Sloping "L" Antenna.

Know this about your Sloping "L" Antenna : You Should
Point It's Far-Down-End Toward the Direction of Interest.
