QRP Spike Antenna a G90 and FT8 Will it work

I wanted a quick easy setup for fast deployment without trying to hang something in a tree or in a place where setting up a mast isn't a great option. I do mostly FT-8 with some POTA and County Hunter activities both FT-8 and SSB but I'm not really a big rag chewer... Yet. I also want to learn Morse Code and something quick like this might be just the thing. Come see how it does. In this video I will set up and review the QRP 1/4 Wavelength HF Antenna 10 - 20Mhz using a faraday cloth counterpoise and my G90 interfaced using a DigiRig Mobile interface and LiFePO4 battery on FT8 so we can see how well our signal gets out at 20W.
