Dual-Feed EWE or BOG

This whole idea came about when I had to run a RG174 feed cable to the EWE feed that was further away from the house than the termination side, so why can't I use the feed cable screen as the antenna itself and saving one wire?

Flag Antenna Construction and Test Results, WA1ION

The Flag Antenna Its name comes from its horizontal rectangular shape,horizontal dimension of 8.84 m / 29 ft. and a vertical (side) dimension of 4.27 m / 14 ft. T Length of the upper and lower horizontal wire members is typically about 2 to 3 times the height of the two vertical sides, original relatives include the Ewe antenna
