Absolutely! I had fun as a kid with antennas at about 25 ft in the maple 
trees at the front and back of our lot. I had fun with dipoles strung 
between telephone pole in the alley and the front of my apartment in 
Chicago, and somewhat better dipoles on a house I later owned in 
Chicago. I've worked DX with 5W into a wire taped to a fiberglass pole 
and jammed into a picnic bench, with a counterpoise laying on the 
ground. I now have an antenna farm beyond my wildest dreams, and I'm 
having even more fun. I can testify that better is better. :)
