Good point, it will be interesting to see what they have come up with. I'm not sure what the size will be for the 40m! It should be here this week, and will post some numbers.

From what I have read, yes. I have not tried it on the ground. No counterpoise.

2. The feedline/control line shoud be pulled away from the antenna elements.Right?

Yes, when I had the cables just hanging down, the swr’s seemed a bit high, when I moved them to about a 45-deg. Angle, they came down to around a 1:1. I did put the antenna analyzer on it to check all the bands, I don’t recall the numbers, I was happy with them. I do not need to use the tuner with this antenna.
