Someone forgot to mention the 1 K/watt pumped into this
antenna, no good for QRP merchants.
I tried this method years ago on a hotel flat roof in
Hongkong and although I did work a few stations it was a POOR performer compared
to the same dipole elevated --- big difference
I was running about 100 Watts to
the dipole
There is no substitute for an Antenna being elevated into
the air as high as possible except short range high angle communications is
required, then a low dipole has an advantage.

Like K3MT's Grasswire antenna?.
