New antenna for 80 metres goes up

Surprisingly, the weather recently has been suitable for me to work on antennas. So even this late in the year I had an opportunity, not to be missed, to erect a new antenna for the 80m band; a base-loaded vertical wire element supported by a Spiderbeam heavy duty 12m long telescopic fibre-glass pole. The pictures show the antenna base with loading and matching coil inside the storage container, and the antenna's location.
I have just made my first contact on the 80m band using this antenna with a radio amateur in southern Spain, 2463kms away. My transmitter output power was only 35 watts. The antenna's performance could be worse !
