While it has generally been my experience that antennas tend to tune 
more easily a bit above resonance than below, there is no good reason 
that a 229 or 238 should not match a dipole that resonates on 3800 down 
to 3500.

FWIW, I usually cut my 80M dipoles for about 3600 kHz, and am able to 
load them throughout the phone band.
