[TowerTalk] "Half-Loop" Antenna?

The Antenna Compendium describes some experiments 
with the "Half-Loop" antenna which is a half of a full loop 
antenna fed against a ground screen.

It would be fed at the ground, then go up to a support, and 
finally back down to the ground again, sorta like an inverted 
V dipole, but fed at one end against ground rather than at 
the center.

I have had good luck with full-wave loops in the past, but 
height and size have prevented trying such on 80m or 160m.

I am curious if anyone has experience with this type of antenna?

73, Brian
