On the short end of the scale, the 1/8th wave antenna at:

shows 254 ohms, which will work with a 2:1 turns ratio transformer.

I don't think a transformer is a significant help. Without the
transformer the SWR is about 158:1. With the transformer, the SWR is
still up to about 61:1. That will probably kick in the SWR protection of
the transmitter.
