Default Question on SWR

....
Under matched line conditions, the 300 ohm line transfers the power
at higher voltage and lower current, one sixth of the current, so
even though the conductors might seem relatively thin (RF R is
proportional to diameter for wide spaced line), I^2R loss is lower.


Thanks, but shouldn't the current ratio be the square root of 6
instead of 6?


Yes, of course... my mistake.
