A while back I posted a query looking for folks who had tried 4-Squares over
sloping terrain.  Modeling showed that degradation would be slight but it is
always good to find real world evidence....    I received several helpful
replies including two from folks with good experiences with bigger slopes
than mine...

Pleased to report that my new 160M Inverted-L based Comtek 3-Square is
alive, kicking and performing well over a 5% terrain.   We've still got half
the radials to finish but it works!
