Matching system:
I started with a 1/4 wavelength 75 ohm section. It was not enough -

SWR
ch 40 --- 3:0:1
ch 1 --- 2:5:1

So I did some more reading and decided to try 1/12 wavelength coax transformer sections. The result was this:

ANT-----75ohm----->-----50ohm----->-----75ohm----->-----50ohm-----TX
------(any length) ------ (1/12 wl) -------- (1/12 wl) ------- (feedline)

I can not explain to you technically why it works, but the resultsspeak for themselves.

This afternoon:

SWR
ch 40 --- 1:7:1
ch 1 --- 1:4:1
