For sure I would give it a try with battery power at the site. If it looks promising, I would then consider some type of antenna matching unit. If it still looks like a viable antenna (a good signal to noise ratio) I would then figure out how to feed it to your shack without it picking up stray noise (common mode) or RFI on the feedline. My RX array is 250 feet from my shack, but I still picked up RFI from various devices in my house, and probably neighbor houses, and noise and RFI being re radiated from my towers and perhaps guy wires. After I installed common mode chokes on the feedline in my shack, just outside the house, and about 30 feet from the RX array, most of this RFI was eliminated. Next project is to actually tame the devices in my house with lots of ferrite. In my case my feedline was cat5e ethernet cable and my chokes were 14 turns on FT240-31 ferrite cores. I use this array for BCB DX, 160 meters, and occasionally even on 80 and 40 meters. It is NOT magic, but sometimes is a little bit, or perhaps a significant help compared to my regular TX antennas. In my case since I had a low gain antenna a good preamp at the array was indicated, but may or may not help in your situation. Happy experimenting, and there is a possibility, but no guarantee that this antenna will help. Rick KL7CW
