Simulation with ELNEC shows the following: 

Driven as dipole over "average" ground it will be a nice
cloudburner with -10 dBi. 
At 5° elevation you will get -31 / -16 dBi ("8-pattern").  

Feed point impedance will be approx. 5.5-j500 Ohms. 

Anyone out there to check this using NECx + SOMNEC ?

Compared to John's (G0AKN) "Earth Base" trials this could be
a very interesting experiment...
