Default "V" Dipole Antenna

It will have a pattern very similar to a horizontal dipole at a height
equal to the height of your antenna 1/3 of the way out from the center.
If the center is at 15 feet and ends are at 30 feet, it'll have nearly
the same pattern as a horizontal dipole at 20 feet.

Impedance-wise, it'll act nearly the same as an inverted vee.

There is much literature on the inverted "V" antenna but I've found
nothing on a "V" Dipole Antenna. Can someone help me with resources
or information on installation and effects of a "V" Dipole? In my
current location I am unable to raise my center point much more than
15 feet off ground. However I can raise the endpoints 30+ feet.
Before I go through much effort on the install I'd like to know what
kind of performance I can expect. Thank you for your insights!
