If ever looking to upgrade or try something else, and especially if dealing with local common-mode noise on the proposed longwire, perhaps consider a more balanced, yet still simple antenna like a 40m-band dipole or even a G5RV Jr. for your ~50' span. Simply fold back the ends or let the ends hang down if the antenna is a little longer than span. Roll your own "ugly balun" with a few feet of your coaxial feedline as a basic choke. Either should suffice for receiving most of the HF spectrum.
