But where have you hidden this remarkable transmission line which is long

It does not exist!


Most resonant 50-ohm-coax-fed dipoles would meet those requirements.
All that is needed is for it to be long enough to force the forward
V/I ratio to Z0. Given the small diameter of a piece of coax compared
to a wavelength at HF, it doesn't seem that it take a very long length.
Waveguides may be a different story.
