Sure, especially if you can use a decent radial system or counterpoise 
with it. Would a taller antenna be several dB better? Of course. But as 
one presenter at a Dayton QRP conference said so poetically ten years 
ago, any antenna that is up on the air will outperform one that's rolled 
up on the floor of your basement by at least 60 dB!
