driven element should be around 36 feet if i remember right. how did he feed it? direct solder the coax to the wire element or with a balun.go to:

punch in your frequency he set it for and see if the specs even come close to what you have! and remember it must be at least 20 feet or higher in the air to see a good swr!! you shouldnt need a tuner if used around frequency it was cut for.
good luck..
