That would be some pretty awful coax -- Belden's RG8X (9258) is only 
6.6dB/100 ft at 400 MHz, and a decent RG8-sized coax is on the order of 
3dB/100 ft. 

Yes, an infinitely long line looks like a resistor equal to its own Zo, 
even with an open circuit as a load but it takes more like 1,000 ft to 
approach that at 432 MHz.
