Good information, but not necessarily for a regular vertical dipole
center-fed with coax or feeders as it would essentially be a dipole
set on end and fed in ther middle with the coax (or feeders) coming
off at a right angle if at all possible. This is not difficult to do
with the major problem being the overall height needed and the height
above ground of the feedpoint. Relatively easy up to 30 meters, and
considerably more difficult above that.
