That should not be a problem since applying modulation (audio tones)
that low will result in "tilt" on transmission in any case.  In my
experimentation with JT65 on HF working below 300 Hz or so resulted
in power output varying with the specific tone even in DATA A with
no TX EQ presumably due to the skirts of the roofing filter on TX.
