My experience as well.  No real change in loss but the complex impedance at the TX end does change enough to require a re-tune.  It used to be so much simpler when the tank circuit on the PA served as both a matching network and harmonic filter.  73, Fred ["Skip"] K6DGW Sparks NV DM09dn

Based on my measurements and method I used to measure 100 ft of window line, the loss in the line from dry to wet is frankly nil. However, the wet line does show a velocity factory change, in effect an electrical change in line length, and thus when connected to an antenna, will have a small
