It's kind of like one of those artificial grounds, I have heard on this list
I think, that it'll work in a pinch. Certainly better than no ground as far
as RFI on the radio is concerned.
besides, what I keep saying along with many others on this list is, try it
and then you'll know. Does a quarter wave long wire, or antenna work?
Depends on what you deffine as work. Compaired to a mobile antenna, or
compared to a 4 element quad on a 75 foot tower.
