The only time a line does not radiate is when the line carries 
exactly equal and exactly out-of-phase currents. That also assumes 
conductor spacing is infinitely small, or the line is twisted at 
distances of a fraction of a wavelength and conductor spacing is 
reasonably small.

10% current unbalance can result in considerable radiation. Phase is 
also critical, so you just can not measure current.
