The link below leads to a discussion of this subject.

It is a rather long thread, but it might be of interest to members
of this NG.

W8JI's position on this subject was a bit of a surprise to me.

I think there's some confusion there about polarisation. VP requires lowest
height to achieve a peak at zero degrees elevation; HP requires a
frequency-specific height and low height usually results in an elevated
beam.
