[Hi-zreceivingarraydiscussions] 4-8 Pro on sloping land

[Lee K7TJR]

Hi Larry,
  As near as I can tell, the only change in the pattern as a result of you 5
degree slope will be that the peak pattern will be up 5 degrees in the up
direction and down 5 degrees in the down direction. 
This generally would likely never be noticed. I have programmed this by
looking at elements leaned over in Eznec and it confirms the pattern peak
follows the slope.

Hi all,  

The 4-8 Pro system is finally being reinstalled at a new qth using the 113ft
circumference design.  This time the array is in an open field but on an
overall sloping area with about a 4 to 5 degree slope from the East side and
lowest toward the West side.   A not so scientific guess would be that the
vertical bases may be as much as 2ft lower on the West side than the East.
Has anyone already installed their array in a situation such as this and did
you notice any particular degradation or enhancement of the array
performance?
