During ARRL SSB TX below 3750 really didn't work very well. Most of the
multis still TX above 3800 and listen above 3700.
I have an inverted V at 110' with a Heathkit remote antenna tuner that
works very well. The tuner is nothing but a 500pf motor driven
capacitor in series with the hot leg of the dipole. Covers the whole
band with < 2:1 SWR.
