For me this is what ham radio is all about. Getting outdoors and experimenting with gear. Great job. Jealous of your location!

A 49:1 transformer has a direct, DC path to the ground lug, no need for bleed resistors. You may look at improving the groundrod, a groundrod will not do well in sand unless on a salt water beach. You may do better by moving back from the water front and placing it in better soil with better conductivity.
