[Elecraft] sideways V antenna?

[Albers]

Fellow Elecrafters,

There's lots of stuff in the antenna literature about inverted V antennas, i.e., where the feedpoint is higher than the ends. But I can't find anything on dipoles and such in which the ends are not in the same vertical plane as the center. 

I'm thinking of putting up a stealth antenna that would be an OCF dipole with the feedpoint at the peak of my roof, and the ends extending toward two trees alongside the house. I've taken some measurements and calculated the angle between the legs as being about 97 degrees - but of course in the horizontal plane, not the vertical plane like an inverted V. I'd feed it with ladder line and my good ole Johnson Viking Matchbox, so I'm not worried about effects on feedpoint impedance. I imagine it would exhibit some directionality, probably toward the open side of the V ?

Anyone see any major pitfalls with this approach??
