I'm sorry, Reg, but that is not a correct answer for the question as
it's stated. I hope others will jump in. Actually, had you gotten
the right answer, I'd have scolded you for posting it so quickly and
not letting some of the more novice folk have a try at it.

I see no one has taken up the challenge in a while so here goes. If I
interpret Tom's question correctly:

100 feet of 50 ohm line with 1 megahertz loss of 2 dB/100 feet and 10 watts
fed into it must have a load of 69+j107 ohms for maximum power in the load
of 8.418 watts. Line Zo is 50-j17.301 ohms.

Is this correct or shall I join Reg in the 'I ain't got it right' box? :-)
