Default Use of lattice line to feed dipole

An excellent article. It appears to indicate that at 7 MHz a feed line made
from 100' of Wireman 554 window line would have a loss of about 2 db when
the line is wet. When the line is dry, the loss is insignificant.


I've often wondered how someone "wets" a vertical feedline
without using soap.
