Would probably work with ladder-line, but not with coax.
You would be turning your antenna into an off-center-fed
dipole with a relatively high feedpoint impedance.


Guess I need a tuner, then.


I may have been mistaken about your intent. Are you using
the above idea to extend your frequency range within a
single band? I earlier assumed you were going for multi-
band operation.

If you are expanding frequency coverage within a single
band, your idea should work just fine.
