That is exactly what you want to do and it should get you on the air.  There 
is an  adjustment on the antenna for 20 meters, but if you are lucky it is 
ok and just needs some radials.

Also this antenna needs a  length of 75 ohm line between the 50 ohm coax and 
the antenna for it to work on 20 meters.  If this line is missing or the 
wrong length, you  may never get it to work on that band.
