I think it would work just fine for local talk or DX, all depends how high up it is (jmho).

Quoting WavRider: "inverted L and work it against ground radials, at least 24 ground radials".
You are going to need ground radials for a counter-poise to work against the radiating element, many radials.

Also maybe an antenna tuner depending on your wire lengths used, the balun, and the other "maths" that are involved.

If the radio wants to "see" 50 ohms, and you use a 50 ohm coaxial feed line..
Then you would use a bal-un balanced / unbalanced.

I haven't yet read the ARRL antenna handbook, and I may be incorrect some places in this small post, but I hope that helps a little 222. Never know if you don't ask/read.
