Tuning Aid?

I decided to tune the Hi-Q down to 80 meter CW to see what was happening. That's a long trip from 20 meters, and the radio was pretty hot at the end.

So I painted some tuning indicators on the coil:

From the bottom, that's 3.500, 3.750, 4.000, 7.000, 10.100, and 14.000 MHz. I can reach 28.400 at the very top with the long whip on, and for 50.100 I tune down from there. It's probably running as a 5/8 or 1/2 wave on 6.
