Default DK3 screwdriver antenna and artificial ground

Hi to all.

I choose to install a DK3 screwdriver on a second floor balcony. No
good grounding is possible fo the base of the antenna. So I decided to
use the MFJ-931 artificial ground as a substitute. My question is
this.. Would it be equivalent to a RF ground to connect the MFJ right
at the ground post of the transceiver (Icom 706) and to disconnect the
coax shield from the base of the antenna?

Or, more generally, what is the best way to use an artificial ground
with an antenna like that one, when a proper metallic ground is not
available?

Thanks de Pierre
