Save yourself some wire, and either search back through the Topband
archives or model your very tall vertical. :-)
Basically, it'll waste a lot of RF at unwanted high angles.

not-so-distant public park with lots of open space and being a dedicated
QRPer, I'm tempted to try something larger than my 26m vertical + 21m
horizontal wire over a 2.5 km field of in-ground radials. My thoughts are
centered on a kite-supported 7/8 wavelength vertical, the 4/8 wavelength
bottom section base fed through an LC tank circuit, decoupled from the top
3/8 wavelength section by just a capacitor.
