Hi Gang Just reading the thread here. I am using slopers for 40 meters. One is toward the west and the other to the east. I am end feeding them, with a home made coax switch to switch between them. Now I have not tried using one for 10 meters as I have 3 element beam but I think it should work okay. Now I should mention that the theory that I have read about these slopers at least for the lower frequency like I use on 40 is that have the 3 element beam mounted above them acts like a capacitor hat so it allows you to be able tune them up with a reasonable SWR. Not sure if the same would be true for one being used on 10 meters, I have never tried it.
