Because the internal impedance of the transmitter is not 50 ohms. It is not

Old Son,

Lord Kelvinator would be saddened by such a dismissal of actually
delving into "knowing" by your meagre understanding that fails to
offer an actual value that it IS. Such superstition that dominates
this paucity would lead us to believe the Z is as slight as an angel
wafting past in a dream (would that be in English Units, or metric?).

Definitions by negatives is an amusing troll however. I do enjoy
participation in kind:

Let's see, the Z of a transmitter is NOT
a dead parrot, nor
five farthings, nor
10 inches, nor
a polka dot dress, nor
the gross national income of Lithuania, nor
the combined weight of all your dead white scientists.

I'm sure I missed a few.... ;-)
