OK, 
  After surveying my property and getting permission from the neighbor to use 
his property 
I have decided that in order to get a beverage pointed to about 35 - 45 deg. 
(from MD) 
and keep the beverage feed about 300 ft from my inverted L feed point I will 
have to: 
a. cross a 8 ft wide stream 
b. run about 10-15 ft up a bank behind my house 
Let me put this in perspective.  Behind my house there is a dropoff about 60 ft 
down to a stream 
bed. My antenna will cross this and run partially up the bank. The feed point 
for the beverage 
is the part that is about 10-15 ft up the bank meaning that the antenna is 
pointing in the direction of the bank to get to the desired location 
(europe-africa).  
So here is my question.  How much will the bank immediately above the feet 
point. Should I opt for another direction instead?  
Comments Please 
thanks
