I got a 10m Spiderbeam fiberglass pole and a TennTennas End Fed Half Wave EFHW Antenna. Designed and printed some guy rings to hold it up, and ordered some super thin/silky wire from The Wireman.
I had ordered 70 feet of wire (to have room at the end to tie it off to insulators, have some space for when I mess something up, etc). I just put it up without cutting it, just to see how it looked on the NanoVNA. Was actually under 1.5:1 everywhere. I could trim it some to get it lower (it was at like 1.17:1 at 6.5MHz or so), but it was close enough and I was running out of sunlight.
Fired up WSJT-X, and got a result!
