No don't think that will work. But, I do have a theory of how to use the water hose as ground. Water conducts electricity. Ground lug from antenna to metal pipe or a section of pipe also known as a PUP installed into the hose. If you have a well.......well?
 
I didn’t think it was possible how somebody could miss all the dipole radiation charts printed in almost every antenna theory book ever published. If he has a problem reading, the least he could do is look at the pictures instead of drawing his favorite hangman game. Too harsh?
 
Absolutely not too harsh.

I wanted to make an antenna out of nothing but garden hose, damn it man... all my ideas just aren’t turning out to be no fun no more.

There was that one time I lowered my SWR by spraying water on my antenna. And I also saved a bunch of money by switching to Geico. Or maybe I just saved money by switching to Geico and the water SWR was a bad dream from taking sleep aids.
