Topband: beverage on sloping terrain

[Jorge Diez - CX6VM]

Thanks Herb and Mike

 

Option a) will be the direction for a new reversible beverage, so hope that this terrain slopes will not affect it very much

 

Thanks!

Jorge

I think they would all work, Jorge. Just keep the distance between the earth and the wire as constant as you are able to.

And, of course, orient the Beverages so that they point within about 35 or 40 degrees either side of the desired DX's compass heading.

How terrain slopes affect the performance of a beverage?
For example, a 800 ft long beverage, with different ground conditions:

a) ... from a height of 400 feet ASL where beverage start, at half the beverage is at a height of 300 feet ASL and begins climbing to 400 feet ASL at the end of the beverage

b) ... rises from a height of 300 feet ASL where the beverage start to 400 feet ASL where the beverage finish

c) ... down from a height of 400 feet ASL where the beverage start to 300 feet ASL where the beverage finish

Option a) will result in a bad beverage performance?
What about options b) and c)?

Thanks,
