I dunno, but for the record, my Cushcraft R-8 is bolted to the chain link fence
and it works great. Best DX is 4S7 I guess, from San Diego.
I call it good, too.

A few years ago I knew a fellow that did just that. He bolted his Hy-Gain
14AVQ multi band vertical to the top of his chain link fence and called it
good.
I often wondered how well that set up really worked. Sounds too simple to
be very effective.
