Default A very odd feedline.

I tried to post a mention of a very odd feedline called the "G-line"
Two attempts and google ate both of them.

It is a true single conductor UHF feedline.
It isn't perfect, but has a low loss.
It "leaks" and in some situaiton that is a benifit.

I have used the damn things, they can't work, but they do.
They work very well.
I still don't believe in them.
But since they do appear to work I will pretend to believe in them.

Before flaming me, so some net research.
