Not really if it is a gentle slope since IMHO the arrival angle of the
incoming signal will most likely not be bothered. The slope may
actually attenuate some ground wave noise in those directions a bit thus
improving the S/N ratio.

Yes, Herb. I have considered this, too. But I think I may run into the
same problem with sloping terrain. Thoughts?

Since your space is limited to preclude a bunch of Beverages I would
highly recommend the SAL-30 which is a shared loop array from Array
Solutions. This is really a high performance antenna and should give
you every thing you need.

Greetings from Saudi Arabia! I think a lot about my home QTH in
California and how I want to make the most of my antenna potential.
I have an area that I would like to devote to receiving antennas,
that's about 150' square feet. Thought about the DXE Active 4 Sq
array but they say installing this on Sloping terrain will
degrade its performance. In my case, the slope is about 30-35
degrees, so I'm sure that limits me.
The transmitting antenna area is about 300-400 feet away, which
provides adequate isolation from where I want to install a
receiving antenna. Trying to figure out what is most suitable.
In addition to 160m, I am also interested in BCB DXing and some
the demonstrations viewed on YouTube are quite impressive!
Would really appreciate some input. I can always provide my home
address, where the two antenna areas can be seen on Google Maps.
