Hi Jay,

I had a similar problem when experimenting with a 1:1 transformer in between
the LF transmitter and the 50 ohm dummy load. The transformer was wound on a TV
HV transformer (3C90 iron dust or the like) It appeared the transformer did
not perform as expected because of the two C-shape halves glued together with
a gap. There is no need for a gap in a matching transformer. The gap reduces
the reactance of both windings and therefore needs to be removed, or the turn
number increased if size permits. 
With a much higher inductance (> 200 ohms) there is still a small phase 
difference
between current and voltage (the phasemeter shows an inductive load) but the
amplifier does not complain anymore.
