I presume you are referring to a slant wire, (technically a unipole and 
bazooka are shunt feed and are allowed). From what I've heard, if you 
play your cards right you might could get one approved for daytime use 
only. Since the FCC isn't allowing new daytime stations it doesn't seem 
likely that anyone would want to jump through the hurdles that the FCC 
would impose to a slant feed.
