An excellent article. It appears to indicate that at 7 MHz a feed line made
from 100' of Wireman 554 window line would have a loss of about 2 db when
the line is wet. When the line is dry, the loss is insignificant.

Is that the matched line loss you are talking about.

These lines aren't always or even often operated at very low VSWR, so
it may be unwise to dismiss the loss as insignificant in the general
sense.
