Not if you have neighbors -- it's a sitting duck for RF noise because 
there's no practical way to choke it. And, of course, with the pattern 
issues you noted.

qrz.com says Tim is near Cleveland. K1AR gets away with his version of 
this because he's in New England -- it's like being born on third base 
and thinking you got there by hitting a triple. :) And he's not all that 
loud out here in NorCal.

BTW -- qrz.com thinks that W8TAH expired in 2012.
