[TenTec] SWR and Rain

[Sherrill WATKINS]

Dr. Jerry:  Sorry, but I am lost somewhere??  I thought If water is absorbed into the dielectric insulation of any rf transmission cable it will cause the 
attenuation to greatly increase at any frequency.   (As we know, coax
is extremely prone to this effect.)  This will cause both the forward and reflected power to go down, giving a low and misleading swr reading.  
Every antenna book that I have ever read confirms this.  Why are 
we debating this point? -  73's- Corn- k4own
