Gabriel....You will be presently surprise how well that works. You might even get some enhance FB out of it.


I had such a sloping Beverage almost exactly like described on EU running downhill and with a 100 foot drop

from previous location here on St. Croix and it was superb.

I am planning to install a second 180m (590 feet) long reversible Beverage
in the next months to cover the NW-SE directions, but due to terrain
restrictions of my property it will have to be installed in a slope.  The
feed would be near the top of hill and the Beverage would slope down, being
the far end about 50m (160 feet) lower than the feed point.

Anyone has experience with a similar setup and how much it could affect the
performance of the antenna?  I assume that the vertical lobe will be
affected somehow, but...
