[TenTec] 160 M antenna

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

I have one, I built it.  It consists of a pair of identical E. F. Johnson 63 
uH roller inductors coupled in tandum by a timing belt.  The variable C is 
an old Cardwell air variable and is somewhat large physically.  It will put 
a 40M center fed wire on 160M with ease and that is at legal limit power 
too.

Now to answer your question regarding a tuner that will tune the antenna 
referenced, it is cost vs. price vs. market demand.
