Here are the resonant frequencies I measured of a 10m half-wave dipole
on a telescopic push-up mast at various heights above ground in my back
yard:

5ft    29.359MHz
10ft   30.499MHz
15ft   30.889MHz
20ft   30.407MHz
25ft   30.179MHz

A variation of about 700kHz...

That's roughly consistent with what I modeled at 40m (100-150 kHz variation).. same percentages to one significant figure..

And, a big jump as you got more than 1/5th wavelength away.
