Why using such a big monster tuner? Because it is commercial? We have only 7 kHz of spectrum and assuming "normal" sourrounding losses, you will not even need a variometer part. So it is just a coil, some wire on a PVC tube and a ferrite transformer (or a tap or what you prefer), then cox to the shack.
