[Lowfer] Sloping loop?

It looks like things are going to finally work out and we're
going to get a house.  (yeah)  The bad news is that it's in
a subdivision without a lot of tall trees, so I have nowhere
to hang a big loop.  What I think I can manage is to run the
top section of the loop suspended from the gutter along the
back side of the house and then slope it across the back yard
to the back fence--where I could anchor it to poles some 8 to
10' up.  I haven't worked out the math (I'm doing the dimensions
from memory), but I'm assuming it'll come out to be 45 degrees
from vertical.

Any ideas what this will do to it as a TX loop?

RX at this location looks to be poor as there are some huge
power lines a half mile away--this is New Jersey, I'm not even
sure they burry their dead around here, they certainly don't
burry their phone, cable, nor power.

Cheers,
David
