Default Fan dipole in attic

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

My new location has a short narrow attic with a traditional shape --
gentle pitch from a raised ridge which crosses the house along the
long axis, like a triangular prism. I have a fan dipole from my last
location that I'd like to try to reuse. Will I be able to get away
with putting the longest legs of the dipole along the center line,
parallel to the ground, and then putting the shorter legs (what was
once an inverted vee) angling towards the corners of the roof?

I know "everything works", but this is likely to be the only antenna I
can get up in time for the California QSO Party in a couple of weeks,
so I'm hoping that it'll be "good enough".

Thanks in advance for thoughts and suggestions.

Jack.
