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.

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... 73.
