Default Wire diameter vs Impedance

I know perfectly well how to use EZNEC to determine the relationship
between the conductor diameter/length ratio and resonant frequency.
EZNEC does not tell me anything about "velocity factor" as far as I
know. I don't need EZNEC to tell me the resonant-frequency and
conductor diameter/length ratio relationship; I have that in detail
from other sources. Those sources also don't tell me anything about
"velocity factor" as far as I can tell.

I don't expect those who are totally invested in and entangled by
"velocity factor" to understand this. But they continue to fulfill my
expectations. (Richard C. will probably even predict with some
accuracy their next card to be played...)

Cheers,
Tom
