The purpose of a transmission line is move RF energy from one place

But a balanced transmission line creates two electromagnetic fields
which cancel one another, Shirley?


What is the value of a canceled check?

If a balanced transmission line created an electromagnetic field, there
would be losses in the line as the line is the only source of energy.

Again neglecting I^2R losses.


Who ever said a balanced transmission line does not create an EM field?
Here is an illustration of the EM field of a transmission line...

It is an illustration of **** poor wording. What is depicted is NOT an
electromagnetic field, i.e radio waves. It is an illustration of an
electric field and a magnetic field and is correct in that aspect.

It is also from a dumbed down US Army training publication and I can show
you lots of Army manuals that do not conform to accepted principals and
language usage left over from my days as an Army instructor.
