Howdy All,
I was listening to the net last night and John, K5IZO, was encouraging
folks to get on 75m
I would be concerned that the terminating resistor would be consuming
most of the power on the lower frequencies.
The article talks about the small amount change in SWR over a 5:1
frequency range, but SWR by itself tells you nothing about an antenna's
performance, and the article says that

Hi Gary,
I did a reply-all so I could answer for the rest of the group.
For 40m and up, the antenna is 45' long.
There's no need for a tuner in almost all instances. The 50-ohm impedance
from the rig is transferred through the 50-ohm
