Roy,

Yes indeed they would! A low dipole to the ground can be a superb 
antenna at Sunrise and Sunset for certain long haul DX on topband. It is 
a valuable and simple antenna to have available during the limited times 
when your 1/4 wave vertical TX and Beveridge can not make the grade due 
to arrival path anomilies.
