Default Horizontal J-pole?

http://www.tfn.net/~gfloyd7/antenna

I'm interested in a wire gain antenna for 6m SSB, and the design above
looks like a pretty quick project. Is it possible to use a j-pole like
this above efficiently as a horizontal antenna? Couldn't it be
center-fed with, say, 2 collinear half-wave sections seperated by 1/4
phasing stubs? In doing so, I was thinking of feeding the center with
300 ohm balanced line.

Thanks for any thoughts.
