You could always run open-wire feedline the 620 feet.

I ran a very similar analysis using the data from Low Band Dxing and HFTA
plots. It’s good to hear your real world experience. I think some trenching is

Is the move to sloping ground worth the extra work and
coax loss??
You've had a lot of good advice. I'll simply add that the loss in coax
is pretty low at 1.8 MHz. For your 620 ft run of LMR400, slightly less
than 1 dB. I would expect the advantage

Sam,
Yes…I think it would be worth it!
My purpose built low-band remote QTH is on a prominent hill surrounded by
farmland in all directions. My QTH at the crest of the hill is about 300’

Looking for some advice from some of you who have been there and done that
before. I'm looking at moving my 160M inverted L to a new location that
would be approximately 100 feet ASL higher and be on top of a hill with
nearly perfect sloping ground in all directions. This would change my coax
run
