YES! This has been my solution since discovering them almost 15 years
ago. At dipole feedpoints, the wire loops back on itself through an
insulator, and is clamped to a wire going to the coax connector by two
split bolts. I also use them to connect elevated radials. I use a DXE
radial plate for my 160M tee with on-ground radials.
