It would be subpar because of excess ground losses #1. You only have
one radial, and the antenna is low to the ground.
As far as radiation in one direction, I agree with Roy. It would
probably be about the same in that direction as another "poorly
grounded" antenna, except that in the other directions, it would
be even worse.

EZNEC agrees. With four radials one foot above ground the gain
is -0.53 dBi. With one radial one foot above ground the gain
is -1.62 dBi in the direction of the one radial and - 6 dBi
in the opposite direction.
