I've done it with coax, so I know it works -- just not the best

thing, you want to start on the high end of your loading C -- if you try

little loading, you can get one of those nasty arcs (of course, that's
true regardless of the
load's Z).
I second Joe's comment, but also think it's wise to be sure that the
loading capacity required is within range -- that is, that you can tune for
an output peak is within the range of the loading capacitor. I routinely
run my SB-220 into an 80-meter array, which is cut for the low end of the
CW band, in the phone DX window at >3:1 SWR, but the loading capacitor is
only a little over half-scale.
