Well, you're objecting rather strongly to an assertion that I never made.
In theory if you want to get the maximum available power out of a generator you _do_ match it's output impedance. In practice if you do this with most RF final amplifiers you will reduce your final element (whether transistor or tube) to slag -- that's why modern commercial radios have SWR protection circuitry. Please see my reply to your post starting with "Hi Leon" for a full explanation, and please actually read it before replying. Remember also that everything I say (including the attempt to match output impedances with the wall socket -- I was only 8 but that's no excuse) has been backed up by experament.
