Zo of ALL real, ordinary, transmission lines changes versus frequency over a
very wide frequency range.
Zo ranges over lots of thousands of ohms at a few cyles of seconds,
thousands of ohms at power frequencies, hundreds of ohms at audio
frequencies, and from tens to a few hundred ohms from 100KHz up to as many
GHz as you like.

"Reg, G4FGQ observed on these pages long ago that an ordinary ohmmeter
would
read Zo if connected to the end of an infinite line. He is right of
course."
But the Zo of a line varies with frequency. How will the "ordinary
ohmmeter"
do the job at, say, 100 kHz?

YOu should get a lot of people calling BS on the Zo changing with
frequency.
It does not change at any reasonable frequency for the line. That is at
least anything below 1 ghz for coax.
