Dr. Jerry:  I agree with your comments.  However, based on my 
experience with open wire line on 80 and 40 meters,  no such 
occurance ever happened during rain or fog;  even with ice and snow 
on the transmission line and antenna.   The only time I ever noted a
change in the swr was when a storm broke the tree linb holding my 
antenna and one end fell about 20 feet.  As a matter of fact, it was the 
strange swr reading (lower than the normal) that caused me to go 
outside and that is when I found the trouble.  This was after I had 
several hours of qso's with one end of my antenna laying on the ground. - 73's - Corn- k4own.
