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.

Subject: Re: [TenTec] 160 M antenna
Ten-Tec like other tuners have a hard time tuning 160M. Any information
on
this subject is very helpful. I wish some one would sell a tuner that
will
tune 45 foot to 300 feet of a single wire antenna without doing something
external to the antenna.
