Assuming that is the input impedance, I think my advice was
reasonable. If I had to match 50 ohms to 29 ohms on a single
band, I would just wind an autotransformer.

==================================
Cec, to prevent the transformer inductance from completely detuning
the antenna, the transformer would have to be wound with a lot of
turns on something like an E and I dust-iron core. It's not worth the
trouble when there are other, more simple ways of doing the job.

The only advantage of a transformer or auto-transformer is that it
will cover several bands or octaves with widely different antenna
impedances.

Nice to bump into each other again.
