Downward sloping Beverages will have a lower takeoff angle than upward
sloping ones (assuming no high terrain in the foreground), but ANY
Beverage benefits from the pattern discriminating against noise from the
side or rear.
And 10 feet out of 500 is barely 1 degree anyway.

Am I correct in assuming that Beverage wires sloping downward from the feed
point to the termination will work better than ones that slope upward? I
have two places I would like to put bidirectional Beverages, but they are
both on sloping ground. I’m wondering if it would be worth the effort to
make them bidirectional or should I just go with unidirectional ones toward
the downslope direction? Soil is good and the slope would be about 10’ or a
little less in the 500’ or so lengths. They will be about 10’ high so the
tractor will go under them. Quiet country local.
