The antenna was a horizontal monoband 40m dipole, strung south to north, just like mine.
Notes
This was my first analog QSO. I'm very happy to have finally gotten over that barrier to push the button. It has seemed so easy to do on DMR, probably because it's such an easy terrain to navigate. When blasting 100W of RF into the air, I feel a bit more responsible for what I'm doing. I could easily disturb someone I can't hear, people talking on QRP or something. I'm not sure how to handle that. I guess I'll just have to get used to it.
