[SEDXC] Contest: Does this count?

Does a dipole constructed out of two hamsticks count or does it have
to be a traditional home-built dipole, doublet, loop, etc.?  A
hamstick dipole is a big compromise to a traditional dipole.

Because I just put up a 20M hamstick dipole broadside to EU in the
crawl space behind my 3rd floor shack and worked RW3DQC with 5W.  I
would have put up a 1/2-wave dipole but was short of available space
by ~10 feet.

Even if it doesn't count, no big deal.
