I have a modified Alpha Delta sloper..well it started out as an Alpha
Delta mounted at 70 feet on my 86 foot tower. I jumpered the loading
coil and lengthened the 40/160m wire to 130 feet or so.
I now have 5 sloper wires. Two are for 160, two are for 80m and one is
for 60m. I run it
Hi Karl, yes CMCs are easy and should be installed regardless. Even if they
dont help with 40/80, they will likely help on 160. Thanks for describing
your experience.

When I had beverages up (all 400 feet long), they have moderate
directivity on 160, but worked better on 80, and were outstanding on 40
meters, such as long path to Europe. This would tend to confirm that
your 40 and 80 meter wires are killing the 160 meter directivity. BTW,
it is entirely
Most if not all replies were off line, and thanks to all who wrote in. 2 key
ideas came out:
1) try and reduce the height of the leads at each end of the beverage. But they
are not exceptionally high so I don’t think that’s it
2) the other is the beverages go under the 80m wire yagi and the 40m
