I did Paddy, it worked okay but when I had it horizontal it was only about 15ft off the ground, my Imax worked better, I think realistically the dipole should be up as high as physically possible to get the benefit of it, a full wave up anyway, if it was it probably could of equaled the imax or perhaps bettered it on DX.
the imax is a much taller antenna with a big tip height advantage if their coax feed point were the same or similar .
