Are these signals always audible with you? Here in Worcester there are
nights when I can't hear them at all so I presumed they were from farther
away than the Baltic. Tonight I can just detect the one you mentioned on
1804.9 and by 1813.1 the signal is up to S7.

I used Deltrol relays from Surplus Sales of Nebraska to switch my matching,
$24 and rated at 6kV from memory.
Working fine at 400W even on my very short radiator.

Mike, definitely worth a go.
I had used a quarter wave raised vertical on 40 metres for some years. The
feed point was at 11 feet above ground with sixteen quarter wave radials
dropping down from 11 feet to about 7 feet but I wanted to get on 80 and 160
as well with no room for more antennas.
