[Elecraft] Can I measure antenna impedance with K2?

[Wes (N7WS)]

Actually, the situation *never* occurs.  Any practical transmission line 
impedance is complex (reactive), hence a purely resistive load is not a complex 
conjugate.

BTW, Zo and Vp vary with frequency too, making the situation even more 
"complex", pardon the pun.
