That's a pretty good setup. Have not personally used that linear but it has good comments from some of the SOTA folks. I'm a fan of wire antennas but I live in a deciduous jungle environment with wonderful ground. In dry areas or above the treeline your idea of a vertical should be the ticket. Drive on sir.
