That's probably gonna work out real well for ya, seeing as how 120' is a
half-wave on 75m (3.9Mc)
It usually does. But due to the high impdeance, it's one of the things
that
drive me to a roller inductor tuner. I just wish it was up higher.

Time to get creative if you have the room. Try paralleling a 1/4 wave or
other lengths to force the feed point impedance down. Even run at right
angles to fill in the pattern. The Johnson will directly load a very wide
range of loads; Ive done strange ones with my Viking I (basically the same
rig, different final).
There is also a free version of Eznec if you want to play on the PC first.
