Several of them have their ground mounted HF antenna's perpendicular

That vertical must be *downhill* from the house - else loss of sleep will

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.
