So,
perhaps I should trow out this core and use an air wound coil to transform
50 to 100-300 Ohm. Any suggestions about size/turns etc, or the use of
other core material?

Hello Dick.
I wonder if you can just get rid of the transformer?
I used a similar system using fishing rods on a trip to France a while ago.
The bandwidth was very narrow but I found that a coil tapped near ground for 50
ohms with a variometer and coil on top worked fairly well. Ultimately to
get higher current you may need a little more height than 8m. (Wire supported by
a tree perhaps?)
