Thanks to all, especially DL8MBS for the input on my quandry about what  
effect the sloping ground would have on my antenna choice for my new KH6  QTH.
 
It seems as though there is conflicting and sparse info on this  topic.  
However, there was one source I located right after I posted the  question..ON4UN 
covers the subject in some detail.  He mentions YT6T (and  others) location 
and describes it as having a slope exactlly the same as mine (8  degrees) and 
models such a location.  It was extremely helpful and is very  interesting.
 
DL8MBS sent me some info with a link to anecdotes from various sources on  
the same topic, which may be of interest.

Like almost all of us I am limited by space and other antennas for  different 
bands.  Since the info is conflicting, I will probably take care  of the 
other bands first and then see what I have space for...a high dipole or a  
vertical.
 
Thanks again.
