What constitutes the silence from this point on?

Nobody knows and nobody cares.

Hi Cecil,

Then I count you in that group who finds the additional 1.62dB loss as
inconsequential. I also note you have no answer to the question, but
in that regard I wish you well, and we are both content.

Hi Richard
Since Cecil's reference to "nobody" implicitly includes me, I beg to be
removed from that group.

How to measure source impedance.
Connect an adjustable load directly to the source, forget the transmission
line.
When the load gets hottest for the least power into the source, their
impedances are matched.

Hi OM,

You are stricken from that group then. Your conscription is ended and
we still all remain content by universal acclamation. ;-)

Myself I can tolerate up to 10dB without care so 1.62dB is hardly as
monumental as the vivid reactions to this news would evoke. I only
test claims to the level of 1dB to be generous. I would note that
most claims fail to achieve even that value.
