Ron makes a good point about an antenna backed by an upslope, such that the
antenna is below the highest objects, be it hill or house.
You can possibly get more interesting contacts by arranging a rotating guy
ring to which to attach the high point of the antenna. Then, get some
rebar to act as temporary tie off points for the ends. When the propagation
is not good in one direction, "rotate" the whole line of the antenna wire to
other directions and tie off to another pair of rebar or other anchors.
Wood fence posts work, too, as tie off points. Allow some insulated guy
line between the antenna end insulators and the tie off if anchor is metal
re bar.
