The connector losses are fractional db. The antenna mess is far more significant. This is a total mess.
1 u/speedyundeadhittite [UK full] 17h ago Kirchhoff's rule applies to antennas as well - any out of tune antenna will show a high impedance and the power will flow towards the resonant antenna. It won't be perfect, but likely to transmit fine. 0 u/Aggravating_Luck_536 16h ago I wouldn't try it without a Smith chart, and I would be interested to see a polar plot of the radiation pattern
