My dual-band inverted-V is 45 foot high at apex and 20-feet high at 
ends.  Years ago read this would make a good NVIS antenna.  Its a fan 
type dipole with about six inches spread at ends.  40m bandwidth is 
narrower than a separate dipole.  I have the longer legs tuned for 
3900 KHz so to work low end I use a tuner.  It works well out to 
800-1000 miles on 75m and farther on 40m.

The Marine HF SSB stations use 4125-KHz in AK as a calling and 
emergency frequency.  A dipole  is common  for shore  stations.  Comm 
Sta Kodiak (USCG) uses this channel thru out AK.
