If you claim the [rho] into a passive network can be greater than
one, indeed this would be a free energy device!

I say it would not be, in the specific examples I proposed. Since you
say otherwise, prove it. (Hint: if you use the model correctly to
calculate the power dissipated in the load and in the line, their sum
will be exactly equal to the power supplied to the (load+line). That
will be true for any length of line. |rho|1 doesn't change that.)

Cheers,
Tom
