Joe,
Once you figure out the spacing, consider putting a relay at the centre to
open the element when not in use. Theoretically, that will take the
reflector out of the equation and return your inverted vee to normal use.

I am using an inverted vee at 95 feet and am contemplating putting a 
reflector below it for a close in chatting. I believe that the reflector 
needs to be 5% longer than the inverted vee but what should the spacing 
be? I was told tonight to just lay the reflector on the ground but that 
makes no sense to me. Thank yall for your help
