An antenna with an input impedance of 150 + j 0 ohms has a reflection
coefficient of 0.5 (50%), a return loss of 6.02 dB, and an SWR of 3:1 to a
50 ohm source. Probably not many transmitters would be happy with that
magnitude of load mismatch.

Do you maintain that the losses defined by these parameters are negligible
to amateur radio operators?
