Not if you want any decent power output. You need to transform the
real part of the antenna down to a few ohm to match the optimum
load that the ARC-5 TX wants to see.

The best way to do this on 40m I have found is to use a parallel
capacitor of around 1200pF. The rotary inductor is still used - to
cancel out the inductance of the link winding.
