Thanks to all who replied. The consensus is that it should work. The
apex of the quad is around 175 feet and the bottom is around 75 feet.
Two ideas/questions:
First, my gut feeling is the dipole should be at the average height of
loop around 125 feet, which will be in a slightly inverted Vee form....lots of
room to stretch out the ends. Maybe a little higher because of the Vee.
Second, should the wire be a standard dipole, insulated in the middle? Or
should it be one long wire 1/2 on one side of the Vee and half on the
other with no insulator in the middle? My guess is it won't make a difference.
