At 3800+ your signal is competing for space with other North 
Americans of similar strength.

Below 3800 you have to find and hold a clear spot in the local 
European QRM which is potentially much stronger than your signal.

A good question would be what do the VE big-guns do, as they've had 
access to that part of the band on SSB for a long time.
