I have a ridge top location for my shack where the ridge runs generally from 
East to West.  I would like to run a Beverage antenna toward the North East. 
In that direction I can make the antenna at least 1000 feet long.  The terrain 
in that direction slopes down about 300 feet over that distance.  What effect 
will the slope have on the pattern of a Beverage? 


TNX,
Randall, W4IQ
