Mendenhall is wrong.

Hi Richard,

But this gets curiouser and curiouser (as Alice through the Looking
Glass would offer).

Cited as an example of the "NOT 50 Ohm" society (and one of its
leading proponents) we find that Geoff Mendenhall's notable
achievement in 1968 was building a 400W FM amplifier. Truly a
hands-on achievement. Now if we simply review the historical archive
and ask Geoff himself what the Z of his design was, we find by his own
hand:
RF Output Impedance: 50 Ohms

Let's see, no technical argument, and sources that are
self-contradicting. Whatchagonnado? Punt? :-)
