and use an antenna tuner and SWR meter. MFJ makes

Just make sure the tuner you get accepts ladder line or balanced line.
A tuner that only works with coax wont really do much here.
And those tuners usually are expensive. I am using an MFJ-986 tuner with a 40
meter dipole and ladder line all the way to the tuner and it works very well on
40-10 and very good stateside on 80m. It tunes all those bands with no trouble.
This tuner has the roller inductor in it.
There are some good plans to build your own tuner around also.
