That's what is so cool about these TX loops, set it and forget it. I am
seriously considering an RG-8 or something loop conductor as the #12
stretches quite a bit in big wind storms. I suppose it isn't so bad  to have
to retune the loop once every 4 to 6 months, but then...

The power screwdrivers also have torque and could turn the inner coil
of a variometer and with a bit of fiddling you could auto tune it
then be able to compensate for changes in the environment automatically

course a loop doesnt need one
