Roy,

Of course no one would "do that" on 10 meters! However many
of us live on small city lots and we would still like to get
on the lower bands.  All the guy is looking for is what his
best options might be given his limited space resources.
Many folks have done well from such circumstances. At the
top of the pile, well of course not. Having fun and making
contacts, absolutely. Numerous DXCC'S have been made under
that type of limitation, why discourage it.

'Reality check' concerning:

 "It's inverted V configuration, center at 38 feet
and...(etc.)."

This is comparable to erecting a 10M horizontal antenna at
2.5 feet?
Would anybody really do that?
