Well not from where I have my AH-4 you can't.
I have it mounted within the range of my control cables at the front of the 38foot MH.
And they want you to keep the lead to the antenna as short as possible.
So the control leads would have to be a lot longer so I could move the AH-4
I don't' know about putting the wire lead inside. It might work with some lightweight flex weave which I have used from the Wireman to make dipoles on occasion. It would have to be flexible or it would bind coming down unless you were totally unobstructed on the bottom so it could trail out.
I have run into a few hams out there that just hang the wire on the outside on different poles out there and it work's just fine. One just attached it to the ring at the top and clamped it on the bottom with a thumb tightening style hose clamp at the bottom end.
