Not correct (Well correct but for the wrong reasons)
A regular 40 meter dipole is 1/4 wave length each side of center on 40
It is also 3/4 each side of center on 15, And thus works just fine.
Dipoles (Center fed) are resonate on every odd harmonic of the design frequency (IE: 40 meters, 40/3 (Which is not 15 but as it turns out is) 40/5 40/7 and so on,
