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.

So is the lesson that Ladder line sucks, or is it that we shouldn't
wash our ladder line with soap and water? 8^)

Has anyone run tests on what "real" (open) ladder line does when you
spray it with wetting agent and water?
