Here are the resonant frequencies I measured of a 10m half-wave dipole 
on a telescopic push-up mast at various heights above ground in my back 
yard:

5ft    29.359MHz
10ft   30.499MHz
15ft   30.889MHz
20ft   30.407MHz
25ft   30.179MHz

##  scale that up to 40m... then it becomes  a 205 khz  increase when going from
20 ft..to  100 ft.   But I dont know if scaling or extrapolating the 10M data is valid.
