A vertical does not really have a low radiation angle unless it is over

ground I would expect the 115 ft high dipole blow it away the in the
favored direction.
This is only true in the extreme case when "ground" is salt water. What
better ground quality does is strengthen the vertical pattern. Mounting
height affects both the shape and the strength of the vertical pattern,
and a vertical that's high over salt water has very strong lobes. I
posted links yesterday for a study I did several years ago on the topic.
