Amateur radio transmitters do NOT typically exhibit a source Z of 50 ohms at
rated power or any other power.

Creaky yarn spinning that went out with high button shoes.

A conjugate match does NOT exist. It cannot play any part in transmitter
design.

A tale told to unruly hams by curmudgeons to shut them up.

Actual source Z, whatever its value, appears purely by chance AFTER the
design has been completed.

Wishful thinking in its full technicolor and surround sound glory.

Even the designer doesn't know what value it might turn out to be. And the
amateur radio transmitter user couldn't care two hoots what it is.

Called projection of wish fulfillment.

I thought this had all been settled a few years back. But no! It seems the
Old Wives are still plagiarising each other.

Self fulfilling prophecy.
