The question is:

Has anyone run any RF loss tests on the commonly available 12 gauge clear PVC insulated "speaker" wire.  The impedance would be quite low, probably in the 90 ohm range, and world certainly handle the applied power (500 watts) but I have not been able find any information regarding RF loss.
