IMO, Wes is being rather modest. His work on what happens with window
line when it gets wet (greatly increased loss) was published by ARRL
in the Antenna Compendium Vol 6. That book also includes two
excellent papers by Frank Witt. All three are "required reading," and
well worth the price of the book ($23).
