The input impedance of a full wave loop varies depending on where you
feed it.. No doubt there are a few points on the loop that show
100ohms, but my 40m and 80M loops at the house both show a 50 ohm
impedance (it's complex impedance, but works out to 50 ohms) to the
coax...
Move the feedpoint around the delta loop and see if you can find a
place where the impedance is closer to 50 ohms.

that may be able to help .............
The feedpoint impedance of most full wave loops is around a 100 ohms
Feed it through a 1/4 wave section of 75 ohm coax, that will get you
close to 50 ohms.
For non-foam coax the length should be 6 feet
For foam coax use 6.8 feet.
