- Sure. All the "thru the glass" systems for 2 meter ham use are 1/2 wave
- antennas being end fed. Lots of AM broadcast verticals are end fed 1/2
- wave antennas (lots more are 5/8 wave, but that's a different can of
- worms). The feed point will be very high impedance, but that's just
- a matching network design issue.
