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. A small piece of wire is more convenient,
but c'est la vie.

I'll cut the legs for the center of the range I will be using and keep
SWR low with a tuner.
