Not so!
For example in this month's QST magazine there's an article on using a
40m full-wave loop on 80m. The designer uses a series quarter-wave
section of 450 ohm ladderline to make the impedance "more manageable".
He quotes 300+j8000 at the antenna end of the ladderline. Now plug
those values into Owen's calculator, using something like Wireman 551
for the line, and you'll get 7dB of feedline loss.
