Check this antenna - equivelant of a 6 meter halo, by K0FF

See, also, my home-brew 6M (mobile) halo web pages:

and, those are more like 1/2 wave loops (dipole), than
full wave loops (which are very high impedence-hard to feed).

Full wave dipoles are hi Z. Full wave loops are in the vicinity of
120 Ohms- from memory- but not omnidirectional when mounted horizontally
or vertically.

....and, then you stack two of'em.
Bingo!
60 Ohms.
A 'perfect' match -- for selected definitions of "perfect".
