Hello Gary,

Don't know from personal experience, but Les Moxon, author of HF
Antennas for all Locations, seems to believe it creates an advantage.
You might want to read his thoughts on that.

====================================

What makes you think he is more right than anybody else?

Why should you be a judge?

Why do you seek support from paid book writers?

Do you lack confidence in your personal judgement and statements?

This small, slightly critical, message is intended to be in the most
friendly of terms. Applicable to many others in these threads.

I wish you the all best of both local stations and DX. And, as the festive
season approaches, an enjoyable Xmas holiday for both you and your family.
----
Reg.

Several of them have their ground mounted HF antenna's perpendicular
to the grade of the land rather than vertical. In other words, the
top of the antenna is roughly 90 inches off center toward the downhill
side.


That vertical must be *downhill* from the house - else loss of sleep will
occur.
And wouldn't the uphill guy wires need to be doubled up ?

Does the term 'uphill' guys imply that there are 'downhill' guys? Would
they be required? Be careful not to confuse the term 'downhill guys' with
old hams.

Quite right!
One should not confuse the term "over the hill" with "downhill"
:-)
