[TowerTalk] Beverage

I have no permanent Beverage but I often install several for contesting. 
I go around trees and other obstacles and at some point while unrolling
the wire it becomes hard to see the other end but I try to make it
reasonably straight.  They work.

I was wondering how much curve (if any) would I be able to get away with when
installing my beverage antenna.  I've 5 acres and there are good sized
oaks and
pecan trees which are laid out somewhat in a question mark configuration.   I
could run the wire at about 10' high for a distance of 600'.  The last 300'
would be rather straight.  Any advice?  Thanks Russ  K5ZZR
