Yes.

QST for December, 1963 in the hints and kinks dept.

I thought I had a digital image of that article here but cannot find it.
Someone with the article and a scanner should be able to email it to you.

That may be a stretch.  I suggest you hand a trap at the ends of the 80 
meter dipole and drop some wire down toward the ground. then see if the 
tuner will match it.  (I have not tried this.)
