The coax becomes your 'counterpoise' if you don't provide a piece of wire to perform that function. Kinda like the "no-ground" mobile CB antennas. Watch out for burned lips if you get too close to the metal grille on your mike. Sounds like a perfect job for the MFJ 'artificial ground' box.

I'm inclined to take W8JI seriously, for the most part. I won't say he knows everything about the subject, but a guy who runs a four-square antenna array on 160 meters clearly has something on the ball.
