I believe you have a tall enough tower. As a broadcast cheif engineer years 
ago, I had a 120 footer on 1220kc, lower than your desired frequency. Base 
current beomes high (over 9 amps in that particular tower), but we were 
elevated at least 4 and probably closer to 6 feet above ground because of 
flooding problems. And we had a lot more radials and some copper mesh under the 
tower. I think its a matter of the right matching network at the base of the 
tower.
