A Look at an End Fed Half Wave Antenna in an Inverted Vee for a 17 WPM CW POTA Activation

Today I used my tried and true EFHW Inverted Vee antenna at Ford Ord Dunes State Park. I originally wanted to try to use the fence as the antenna in hopes that I would get some directionality in line with the fence, I ended up having some grounding issues that pushed me to my backup.
Today's Setup:
End Fed Half Wave Antenna cut for 7 Meter band (~66' long)
Jackite 31 Foot pole
Xiegu G90
CWMorse SP4
RG-58 Coax
Campstools
Thanks for watching, I appreciate it.

I like how you show your theoretical performance and then real world results. I really need to learn how to use MMANA. Every time that I've tried, my far field plots end up looking like captain caveman!

Thank you! I had to google Captain Caveman. That's a little before my time, haha.

Lol, this vid was sitting in the queue for a while and I forgot I said that. Gotta catch 'em all. The Pokémon that I assume I was referring to was Wobbuffet. The resemblance is uncanny.
