I did just this quite some time ago... 8 or 9 delta loop elements hanging
from a 120 foot rope on a pretty decent hillside. The rope may have been up 60
feet, but the foreground sloped down several hundred feet more.
It was aimed at Europe. Quite the bomb in WAE and CQ-M contests running a
barefoot Icom 701. In fact, I dont think I ever reproduced those rates with
anything since... That includes a KW into a 3 / 3 Telrex 20M stack from a big
time hill top. Not bad for an antenna costing under $100 bucks.
Of course, SE Asia was a real problem!
