Todd, or anyone, what is the activity like on 40M AM these days?  Is
there any?  When I get my AM station on the air, I will likely be
sending a fair amount of time on 40 (if there is activity) as my
current antenna is a resonant 40M dipole.  I've never used SSB or any
modes other than CW and RTTY/PSK on 40M so I have no clue what to
expect.   I've been able to use a transmatch on this 40M dipole before
to get favorable results on 80M CW/DATA but it is a cloudburner for
the most part and only good for regional work.  I'm going to be
putting up new antennas this spring.
