A simple cost-effective method of feeding 100 Ohm antennas such as
Delta loops is to use an odd number of 1/4 wavelengths of 75 Ohm 
coax or a single 1/4 WL of 75 ohm coax followed by any length of 50
ohm coax.  For 1/4 WL  transformers, Rin X Rout = Zo X Zo.
(Several friends are using RG-59 at 1200W with no problems.)
