Actually, the situation *never* occurs. Any practical transmission line
impedance is complex (reactive), hence a purely resistive load is not a complex
conjugate.
BTW, Zo and Vp vary with frequency too, making the situation even more
"complex", pardon the pun.

If the feedpoint impedance of your antenna is totally resistive, *and* is
exactly equal to the characteristic impedance of your feedline, then length
only matters when calculating loss. This situation hardly ever occurs for any
real hams however. :-)
