Note that for those running 100 watts or less being only 5 feet (1.5 meters) from the antenna is fine anywhere below 21450 kHz. I have a 120 foot end fed "Inverted L" that terminates at the tuner on a shelf above the rig, about 5 feet from me. (I've always considered 100 watts out QRO, Hi). 73 Ron AC7AC
