This thread is a long one and frankly I didn't follow it at first, but a little
research says that the OP was interested in bringing a coax feeder directly into
the radio from the end of a wire. He incorrectly called the coax a
"counterpoise", instead of an extension of the wire which it really is, because
it's going to radiate, but never mind that. In this case, the antenna is a
"sloper" whether it is called that or not. If one end is higher than the TX
then there is a vertical component to the geometry and the radio chassis is the
"counterpoise." :-)

Does this statement actually mean that horizontally polarized antennas do not
exist for those, whose radio is not high enough above the ground. :)
