Note that the 0.35 dB loss is not converted to heat or dissipated. The

not get radiated out the antenna.


So the reflected wave is somehow mysteriously exempt from the loss/m of
the coax then!!

He is correct. That 0.35 db loss exists even if you have zero feet of
coax. It is a "point loss", unrelated to coax length.

The loss in the coax is separate.
