Radiation from the feedline is usually the least of one's problems.
99 % of RFI is due to radiation from the very nearby antenna.
That's rubbish - have you ever *measured* the RF currents in your
station wiring?

No, but I HAVE measured RF current in the antenna - from where most
RFI originates.
Have you ever run 400 watts from an 80 meter 1/2-wave dipole a few
feet above your roof and not far from the TV aerial?
