I have a two vertical freestanding array that I started and with other
home projects I just can't seem find the time to finish. I was told by
Array Solutions to make the verticals resonant on 3.650MHz.  This made
sense since it was the middle of the usable band. Is this bad advice?

Here's an update.  I finished my first vertical.  It turns out I can put 48
feet vertical and do the rest as a sloping T-top.  Total length of each
wire is
66feet.  I trimmed it to be resonant at 3.525 as instructed by Comtek manual.
