I cut my antenna exactly 33ft either side of a BNC to binding post adapter. Wire is #20awg 19/32 stranded silver-plated Cu with PTFE insulation (Yellow in color, if that makes a difference )I suppose I should have prefaced my experiment solicitation with the following:
How many folks here know how to make an antenna impedance measurement (R+jX)? (This includes any available means, Antenna analyzer, noise bridge, RX bridge, or other means).
If we have a number of folks who can answer in the affirmative, we can proceed with the experiment.
Stay tuned!

Laid out on mowed grass about 1" long, I fed it with my RigExpert AA-600. Resonance is way below 468/66 = 7.09MHz. Distance from the test port on the bridge to the dipole is about 1.5" (no feedline).
Here are the plots for fundamental resonance:
Here are the plots for 3rd harmonic:
