Jerry,
How do I get that? ..... mental aberration and mis-interpretting the
"brackets", that's how :)
At the risk of extending this thread for far too long .... what would happen if
you "parallel connected" two lengths of 300 Ohm twin sitting on top of one
another. Would the composite Zo be half the individual value (as it would be
with coax), or because the fields would interact, would it act more like a
single entity with fatter conductors but separated by the same distance?

How do you get that? I tried 0.1" diameter conductors 0.11" center to
center and it comes up 53.2 ohms impedance. That's 0.010" gap, fairly
closely spaced. Same conductors 0.105" center to center (0.005" gap) is
37.79 ohms impedance. Cut that gap to 0.001", 0.101 gives 16.96 ohms
impedance. That's 120 arccosh (S/d). S is center to center spacing, d is
conductor diameter. Working closer, 0.0001" gap for 0.1001" center to
center gives 5.37 ohms. So lower impedances are possible, maybe not
practical, but possible. 10 millionths gap makes 1.7 ohms, 1 millionth
gap makes half ohm impedance. But yet the conductors don't quite
intersect or touch unless the gap gets all the way to nothing. And then
the impedance is zero.
