I have found that my Rx verts suffer considerably from being "hillside
mounted".  However, there does seem to be some advantage in some
directions where the verts are blocked from noise sources.  I think it
is probably impossible to determine the impact of terrain using the
modeling programs available to most of us.  Best bet is to try the antenna
and love (or hate) the results.  No easy way.
