Sorry for an off-topic question. Does anyone have any information about the
dry vs wet characteristics of "450 ohm" ladder line? I have never used this
type of line, but I might have to use it for "mechanical" reasons to feed
another antenna now being built. I am told that its characteristics change
when wet from rain, but which characteristics change and by how much at HF.
A remote ATU to compensate is not to be used with this particular antenna /
feeder.

Any comment would be appreciated.

73,
