If he was to use an antenna tuner then he may as well eliminate the gamma at the antenna element since it will do no good whatsoever for reasons stated above unless a coil (more losses) is added. Best bet is an automatic tuner located right at the base feedpoint and then length of the element will not matter as far as impedance is concerned but take off angle will change with length.
