If the slope height change is small compared to the length of the slope it
is unimportant, just like when the height of the vertical section is small
compared to the length of the antenna the vertical change is unimportant.

I think what Gary is talking about is the idea of doing all the slope in the
last 100 feet or less. I know that's what I mean.
