2 meter j pole question

I have a j-pole that I recently built and due to weather, will not be able to get it put up on my tower till things get nicer. I was wondering if it would be ok to use it for my HT when I am in my shack at home and just have the j-pole standing in the corner of the room??? I know it won't be as effective as being on the tower but I think it should be better than the HT antenna. Any ideas on this? Thanks
 

What he said above.
Stand it in the corner. An SMA or BNC connector just ain't gonna support that 'J'-pole on an HT...

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
