LMR400 is great coax, however in this case you're attempting to connect a 300 ohm impedance to a 50 ohm (unbalanced) line. I suspect this will affect your setup's performance.

If you've already pointed the antenna correctly and placed it high enough than this issue will likely need to be addressed.

Just curious; why did you elect to make a folded diplole design? A non-folded dipole would have been a better match for your coax direct feed.
