No need for tuner. Just insert a coil, about 10 turns bewteen the bottom of the antenna wire and ground (radials). Connect your coax - braid to ground connection and find the tap on the coil for your (50 ohm) impedance. Then you can connect ant wire to the same point. You get grounded Inv L and simple solution.
