Using half of a yagi triband DE as a vertical

I have an old tri-band yagi driven element in my junk pile. Has anyone tried using one half of these as a roof-mounted vertical for 20, 15 and 10m, or mounting it on top of a longer length of tubing and ground mounting it for 10 - 80m? (probably need another loading coil for 80m).

hi, I did this for a while, had to to run out radials for different bands. Worked ok.

And there's a house in Windsor (Brisbane) with one on the peak of their roof too!
