Including the 42m open wire feeder it is effectively too long,
see also attached screenshot (from summer with dry weather)
The recorded measurement is showing
R=49,3 Ohm X= +j 169,8 Ohm 
So you would need ~ 2nF for a perfect match.
The impedance varies of course with air and soil humidity etc.,
presently I need 1,5nF.
