Nice vid! thumbs up! I heard you say that took 12 hours. That's actually really fast. It took me several weeks to mount an 18 foot mast of 4x4s (fence posts), for my Solarcon 99. You did a nice job with the concrete too. Myself, I dug a narrow 3.5 foot hole, mixed several batches of concrete in a bucket. And, dumped it in; quick and sloppy. I didn't even use concrete forming tubes. (And for $20, I really should have. LOL.) I bought 50 feet of LMR 400 to run through the foundation to the basement. Hammer drilling through the foundation (of my house) took me 3 hours by the time I got set up, and siliconed around the hole etc. Assembling my antenna/ mounting also took as long. That's a lot of work for 12 hours. You must have planned it out in advance. On to part 2.
put a full size 1/4 wave ground plane on that vertical and it will lower your radiation angle alot. everybody always says height of the tip of the antenna above ground, it makes no sense. the whole antenna radiates rf energy not just the tip. also its the feed point height above ground that is the crucial factor, not the tip of the antenna. make a vid of the station operation, that would be cool. food for thought
