While this does work for transmitting, it also is a recipe for "RF in
the shack." In addition to "lighting up" the shack, the counterpoise
does not stop at the station -- it continues on every wire connected to
the station, including power wiring. At a minimum, this demands serious
bonding of everything in the station.
