It's a 4-1/2 foot whip, working against the coax shield as a 'radial'. Probably the coax will radiate more than the whip, especially if the coax is stretched out full length.

An indoor dipole would certainly work better. A couple of pieces of wire matched by the K3 tuner would work as well or better. There is also the likelihood of RF on the coax affecting the transmitter, or arcing to the operator if the circumstances are right!

Don't waste your money.
