Sorry, no specific experience.

I am sure the Isotron will radiate. However, as Kurt N. Sterba, the
'World Radio' antenna columnist has clearly demonstrated, a lawn chair
and shopping cart will also radiate; he even worked about a dozen
countries using those items to prove his point.

If you have any kind of room at all or are not in a total 'stealth'
situation, try a simple dipole or vertical; in my opinion, either of
those will work way better than the Isotron, shopping cart or lawn chair.

Good luck!
