Dipoles, why height matters

I've also run dipoles - I got WAS on 75 meters from Iowa with an
inverted VEE running from 50' to near ground. And I had a strong signal
on the Iowa 75M SSB net.
I have lots of strong signal reports from around the country on 6M AM
running 3W into a 2 foot collapsible whip.
Of course it was at the height of sunspot cycle 19 and says NOTHING about
the effectiveness of the antenna.
