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!

Don't sweat the low center. I just built one a few days ago and it
worked better than any Inv Vee I've built or used. The reason is the
ends are higher than lower as they would be on an inv vee, therefore
the part of the antenna where it exhibits the highest voltage is
highest above ground helping to eliominate ground losses and increase
efficiency.
You're actually fortunate to have such a nice way to mount the
antenna, in these postage-stamp-size city lots we're lucky to be able
to fit an inv vee, which works, but performs barely OK .
Me thinks you're going to truly love it's performance.
