[TowerTalk] Inverted V Vertical endfire

[Matt Brosious via TowerTalk]

A friend of mine suggested reconfiguring my inverted V on 80 meters for dx performance. I'm working with a model for the inverted V with the legs at 45 and 1' off the ground at the ends (.707 x f to determine apex). The antenna shows low angle endfire gain in the vertical axis and high angle broadside. 
Has anyone played with this configration?
I'm interested in the extent ground losses would offset the vertical performance. Also considering using two of these as a colinear array.
I can share the NEC model for those that are interested.
Thanks
