Subject: [TowerTalk] 135' open wire fed dipole pattern

Gang, 
 
I have right now, a 135' long dipole, fed with 450 ohm ladderline.  It  is
in a vee, apex about 50', ends about 10'.  
 
I have a chance to use a neighbors tree, his idea-gotta LOVE that, which
will put it up as a flat top, 60-70'.  Will be broadside NE/SW.
 
I am looking for a decent domestic antenna, the VEE is great, but, as a ham,
I'm always looking for more.  My GAP Voyager is fine for my city lot  on
40/80 DX, works all it can hear.  
 
What does the pattern look like for a V at 50', and a flat top at  60'?
