All the individual "loose" connections at the joints are notorious for creating intermod. It may or may not be a
problem in your case. For receiving, you may hear numerous broadcast station harmonics and intermod combinations. When
transmitting, your signal will likely be "dirty" and you may get BCI and TVI complaints, even though your transmitter is
clean. Sort of like putting a thousand diodes in the antenna.

My yard is adjacent to a large park. The park's border with yards
like mine consists of a chain link fence that's in excess of one
thousand feet in length. The vegetation is such that I could run a
long wire about a foot over the top of the fence for a large part of
that thousand feet. Would the chain link fence cause negative
interactions? Would this be a receive-only antenna and not any good
for transmitting? I'd connect it to the random wire lug on my MFJ
Versa Tuner II to match it to my Kenwood tube rig.

Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?

Jack.
(I'm going to try it regardless for receiving, but what should I expect?)
