what is the lightning like in your area? If it is anything like it is here in Florida... go with a commercial grade antenna... otherwise your putting up a toothpick maker.... YES you can, but ask yourself, how many times you want to replace it when a storm rolls by..... Some are lucky, others are not.... your call.
