[Boatanchors] 75M

In all the many years I have been a ham I have almost never been on 
75M.  I have a Butternut 6HFV vertical antenna which uses a base loading 
coil for 75/80M.  This gives it a VERY narrow bandwidth.  I just scanned 
the swr and find it is 1.2 at 3.750 MHz with a 2.0 bandwidth of +/- 45 KHz.

This leads to my question of where are the most active areas of SSB 
activity given that I am going to have only about 90 KHz of bandwidth to 
work with?
