What coil resistance You have? Or 37 ohm it is whithout coil resistance?

It seems to be much better if You will not use ground, conterpoise only.
To reduce loss all the currend should return through conterpoise.
In this case it is good to use ferrite  transformer betwin TX and
antenna to avoid HF voltage on TX box.
