How effective is a vertical dipole? (Does not depend on a ground
return.) Sure, height above ground might change the pattern.

I agree. And another question -- "will a vertical or horizontal
antenna be more effective and your QTH?" Take a look at

Vertically polarized antennas are strongly dependent on the quality of
the soil, while horizontally polarized antennas are not. If you have
poor soil (rocky, or sandy) you don't want a vertical on most bands
(except 160M).
