- Hi all - I am in the process of doing some station layout changes and some recabling in the process. Just for the heck of it, I pulled an old (maybe 20 years?) 20 ft length of a no-name, foam dielect

- Well, doing some back calculating, this almost sounds correct, except you didn't include the Z you measured. There is a rule of thumb that Insertion Loss is roughly equal to one half the Return Loss

- Barry, try it with the end shorted and use the SWR/graph version of the test. Either way, 20 ft is probably too short to get a good test. We use it a lot here on incoming inspections, and the thing c
