Sure you can. Happens all the time. You gave it at least two counterpoise, the mast and the coax braid.
However, their are many people who've tried the A99 and despised it because it produced such bad common mode currents. As W8JI states, they were not the lucky ones who chanced upon a working combination of height and mast/coax length. The manufacturers are depending upon the necessity of a mast and coax to complete the missing part of the antenna.
