[TenTec] SWR and Rain

[Sherrill WATKINS]

Dr. Jerry:  After I re-read your last post several times,  I think I 
understand what you are explaining.   Correct me if I am wrong, 
but you are saying that if water enters the dielectric insulation of a rf transmission line, that it may change the characteristic impedance to 
the point where the swr will change, up or down??  I had never thought 
of it this way but I (think) I understand what you are saying.  Anyway, my limited experience has shown that, for coax, the line nominal impedance does not change as much as the loss (attenuation) increases.  Sorry, I am 
a bit slow grasping this. - 73's- Corn- k4own.
