Characteristic impedance and DC resistance are the same if the line is
infinitely long and unterminated.


if it was infinitely long wouldn't the the termionation would make no difference for all proctical purposes.

wouldn't the resistance of the conductors throw that out ?


its hard to terminate infinitely long conductors, as finding the end can be rather tricky :)
