Jim,
Thank you very much.
And I can confirm that even short (300') Beverages work on slopes.

I do have one question please will loops like the VE3DO,DHDL and others work on a slope?

I don't think a 4 square would work i these conditions.

I was surprised how well the short Beverages worked out.

Both I and NI6T, a great engineer and topband op, have Beverages over VERY irregular sloped terrain, and they work just fine. Both of us are in dense redwood forests, where a 4-square is totally impractical. Mine are 500 ft and 550 ft, reversible using DX Eng hardware.
