[TowerTalk] 75M rotatable dipoles

Trolling for experience-backed opinions:

Is a 75M rotatable dipole a waste of money if 92' is as high as one can
install it? Would having it that low destroy the rotating advantage of the
end nulls, thereby turning it into an expensive inverted V?  The
alternative, of course, is to spend the bucks on a shorty 40 at the 92'
point instead, and hang a good 'ol cheap inverted V for 75.

Thanks for the brain cell time.

73, Jerry W5KP
