Default Impedance of open wire feeder using multi-strand wire?

Ian,

Here's how results from your approximation formula diverge from more-
accurate Zo figures:

But I take it that your picture still applies to single-core conductors,
and very fat conductors at that.

With the feedline I have in mind, S=55mm and d=1.2mm, so S/d=27.5, which
is way off the end of the scale in your picture.
