For a Vee beam,  or rhombic to operate as intended,
the wires MUST be over level ground!  If the wires are
strung across a gully or valley,  as I tried a few years
ago........no beam gets formed!  Very disappointing
as I had lots of horizontal room for 600 foot legs,  but
unfortunately across a few hundred foot depth ravine
or valley.

A gradual slope to the ground might work out ok,  but
best if level.
