Ok, I learned something, but I would be inclined to go with the 1/2

"1/2 wave of 75 ohm" would make matters worse for a 25 ohm
antenna since the SWR would be higher than for 50 ohms.
What you need is 1/4WL of 35 ohm coax like RG83.


OOPS, I went back to the original problem with 100 ohm


Then you should use 1/4 wave of 75 ohm, not 1/2 wave.
