Yes these work well and good where space is restricted BUT note you MUST use a good tuner, the newer ones with internal balun will not work, use one of the old Matchbox types with well spaced tuning vanes and good coils.
This design and nearly all the others on the site are very old designs and can not be faulted, were in use many decades ago so have stood the test of time.
We installed a medium wave TX in the Middle East in the 1970's, 1480 was the frequency and output One Megawatt, the vertical antenna was of this design,
