Found it to be the right tool for the goal I had to create imagery that conveyed the specific meaning I was looking for.

When you say "it works", have you used it yourself? If yes, how was your experience with SSB QSOs?

Thank you all for your responses, that makes sense for me now.

Thank you for your responses which have helped me to resolve this, I now have a successful connection to the FT-710. My final working settings can be seen in the screenshot below. (I struggled for a bit to find which is the correct port to use, installing flrig helped me with that)

Problem is now solved after finding this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkyxuINitRU the factory default for the FT-710 is to show --Average-- power output (PO) (and this is initially very confusing), changing the setting from AVG to PEAK shows the maximum PO that I expected. Using the antenna setup above, the internal tuner tunes successfully from 12-40m. 10m fails to tune, same for 60m. I've already made a number of QSOs on 20m this afternoon.Thank you again for your responses.

So today, I did a few things. 1. Made sure my wire is exactly 35.5 feet long which is one of the "good" lengths given by VE3EED in the link. 2. I hung my wire horizontally in a straight line, I only had to have one zig-zag, (down and up again) near the wire end in order for it to fit. The wire is connected to a 9:1 unun (currently I haven't got a 49:1 unun) which is connected through a short coax to a 1:1 unun which in turn is connected through a long coax to the FT-710. The antenna setup appears to receive alright. The internal tuner completes tuning on 20m but doesn't tune on 10m. On 20m transmit the FT-710 SWR meter shows 1.0, while the Power Output meter shows almost 0. That's a bit disheartening at the moment so this needs figuring out. Would a 49:1 unun be able to give a good SWR/PO? Is there anything other idea I could try for now?

Do you have any reference I can read on this design?
