I doubt that, Richard. When the length of a dipole is
much, much greater than the diameter of the wire, the
antenna will scale appropriately. But what happens when
the length of the antenna is not a lot greater than the
diameter of the wire?

It is the same problem as trying to use water in scale
models of boats. It just doesn't work.
