Default screwdriver vs. tuner

HAs anyone ever tried using a long whip with a screwdriver matching
network. For example I have a telescoping 18ft whip and I was
wondering how it might work with it. I have never used a screwdriver
antenna before and the whip collapses to a little over 6ft.

It's done quite often for non-mobile antennas,
fixed and portable. Mobile antennas are limited
to about 12.5 ft above the ground.
