but having a low antenna goes a long
way toward limiting the contacts you make to NVIS propagation.
I suspect you could accomplish the same result simply by reducing
transmitter power.
A dipole 1/4 wavelength high has a nearly identical radiation pattern to
one close to the ground. It just has less loss.

That's a great suggestion.
Those are correct who say that an antenna (dipole) doesn't have to be low
to the ground to make use of NVIS - but having a low antenna goes a long
way toward limiting the contacts you make to NVIS propagation.
