I did not us and programs for these. Just cut and try. I would hazard a guess of 45deg. I did not try any phasing. I put up 5 different ones any switch between tham for the best signal. I am a broacast engineer (mostly AM dir and to try to figure this out on a sloper would be quite a challange. Yes I worked W4M on 40, 20, and 17M

I would not think there would be a big advantage for this circumstance. Dave made sure the system is properly tuned to 40 meters, not going for anything else. This is Dave's setup and he has five slopers and none with a balun. The best thing to do here is to ask Dave that question. His YouTube Channel is "K4WDG". Also the shack is the emergence Ham Shack, the one he uses is in the house.

Rick:
Thanks for video. Would there have been any advantage in using a common mode choke type balun at the feed point other than the reflected power into the shack.

back in the good old days, they used metal bed springs and gutter for antennas (but you needed a match box).

you could do the same with cb radio using slope inverted v and flat side

@bluejay148
You could, 27.185MHz wavelength equals 36.181 Feet.

You explained this configuration better in 7 minutes than if I'd spent an hour reading about this kind of antenna.

Thanks.

Rick... Nice vid. Normally when going from a balanced load (dipole) to an un-balanced feedline (coax) you wouuld use a balun. In the case of the dipole the pattern is nearly the same with or without a balun so most people don't bother.

Thanks Ron,
I have not talked to Dave yet. I thought he was all set up on YouTube, but almost, I'll get him going soon. Dave has been in commercial broadcasting forever. He also owned two radio stations. He was two Ham Shacks and he is able to switch out all antennas between the two. I know he has used a balun on a multiband dipole experiment. I did ask him earlier if he was going to change anything with this setup and he said NO!!!!
