I disagree. Transmission lines have two conductors. Radials don't.
Roy, try using your imagination! My "Electronics Equations Handbook" gives the specifications for a "SINCLE-WIRE ABOVE-GROUND TRANSMISSION LINE" including Z0, C, L, and resistivity adjusted for frequency. Don't forget the single-conductor transmission line invented by Goubau and named "G-Line" in his honor. Quoting from page 164 of my 1972 copy of "The Radio Amateur's VHF Manual": "The basic idea is that a single conductor can be an almost loseless transmisison line at untra-high frequencies, if a suitable launching device is used. A similar launcher is placed at the other end. Basically the launcher is a cone-shaped device which is a flared extension of the coaxial feedline...." -- --Myron A. Calhoun.
