------------ REPLY FOLLOWS ------------

If you are concerned about getting an exact 50 ohms at the feedpoint,
a simple L-network will do it for you. See any ARRL handbook or
Antenna book. 

Also, I strongly recommend getting an SWR analyzer such as one of the
MFJ series. You will wonder how you ever got along without it.
