For you AM TX'ing fans out there, Boomer FWR this to me. A neat read, for sure,     https://www.radioworld.com/tech-and-gear/tech-tips/quick-we-need-a-temporary-am-antenna

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.

Probably better off with a 70' tower, which would provide a good match for 75 meters.  This would also provide some level of plausibility in case someone asks  ;)
BTW a 1/4 wave at the top of the AM dial just happens to be 5/8 on 4 MHz  :P
