I'm hoping that I can at least avoid the constant trips outside to change
taps on 75/80 meters. The antenna performs well, but that sharp tuning can
be an issue.

Most loaded antennas that are very short for the frequency will be sharp
tuning. If the tuning is very broad, it is usually an indication of a lossy
antenna system
