30 Meter Vert / Dipole at the top of the hill

OK ,  yet another grand antenna plan this time repeating my 30 meter antenna lower on the hill.  Heading into the solar null I expect that 30 meters will continue to yield some DX from time to time so an investment in this antenna will pay off.

I want to compare two more or less 30 meter antennas ,  my existing one above and another to be built at the top of the hill.    I want to see if there are any "height advantages ".  I also would love to A/B a dipole vs vertical at the top of the hill

and the numbers ....
