Topband: Beverage in a slope

[Jon Zaimes]

Gabriel,

At a previous QTH I had a 600-foot Beverage on a hill, dropping from 90 feet
to about 10 feet elevation and it worked great. Was switchable NW/SE. Heard
and worked many JA stations on it.

I am planning to install a second 180m (590 feet) long reversible Beverage
in the next months to cover the NW-SE directions, but due to terrain
restrictions of my property it will have to be installed in a slope.  The
feed would be near the top of hill and the Beverage would slope down, being
the far end about 50m (160 feet) lower than the feed point.

 

Anyone has experience with a similar setup and how much it could affect the
performance of the antenna?  I assume that the vertical lobe will be
affected somehow, but...
