Mike,

>Has anyone tried their Lowfer TX antenna on 75-meters???

I would think a loop with those dimensions would make a pretty effective 
radiator as you approach the frequency where the perimeter is 1WL (60M). 
Since the step-down transformer is in the circuit it would reduce the signal 
considerably. According to my antenna book the radiation resistance at 75M 
is about 100 ohms which should match your coax fairly well. BTW, the 
radiation would be maximum in a perpendicular direction from the loop plane.
