Ive read about the 64:1 being used on end fed half waves. I personally use a 49:1. I think its really going to depend on the impedance. If 3200 ohm, use 64:1. If its 2450 ohm go with the 49:1.

For 1.8 mhz special care should be taken in the design. G.

L configurations are very effective but avoid the inverted V scheme. G.
