I wonder exactly what happens when you run ladder line say next to a 1''
metal pipe spaced about 1" apprt
is it just that the ohms that change would it be a bit or does it
swing waaaay off??
The problem with metal and ladder-line is at the voltage antinodes.
The peak-to-peak voltage at a voltage antinode is about ten times
the power when the SWR is 20:1 (if memory serves me right). Running
1000 watts with an SWR of 20:1, that's about 10kv between the
conductors at a voltage antinode. If there's no metal, your finger
will do. :-)
