In that case you shouldn't be using a formula intended to apply to the
surge impedance of a transmission line.
You mean i can't use Zo=50 + j200 with
Rho = (Zload-Zo*)/(Zload+Zo), for complex Zo?
Only up to Zo=50 + j50?
Ok, well, the conjugate formula still makes more sense to
me.
Where do you stand David?
I believe that algebra speaks for itself. I believe that whether a model
accurately depicts reality has to be tested by experiment. And I believe
that when many such experiments have been previously carried out, all
confirming the accuracy of the depiction, any claim that the model is
inaccurate and that another one is accurate has to be supported with
extraordinarily strong empirical evidence.

If the algebra speaks for itself, what does it say to you? Is
Besser and Kurokawa and the ARRL incorrect? If you're not too sure
and you don't wanna say, i wouldn't blame you.
