I haven't been following this too closely but...
In a Zo matched system, e.g. network analyzer, reflected power is burned up in
the instrument. So "mismatch loss" is real loss and shows up in s21. Think of
measuring a crystal filter. The crystals can be very low loss but the insertion
loss is high out of the passband because the filter is a huge mismatch.
I agree however with the conclusion.

Hi,
Okay, I thought your measurements were like S21 and could be considered a
transmission (thru) loss. The other measurements I referred to were -- in
other words, I don't believe they were measurements of 'mismatch loss'. The
Times Microwave loss figure was definitely a transmission loss.
I think it's clear that UHF connectors, at HF, are virtually lossless.
Good weekend,
