I might worry a little about loss when dry also. I'm not
sure how this line behaves as a transmission line at radio
frequencies.

Maybe someone has measured some? I know rubber telephone
parallel wire is pretty bad at radio frequencies. One line I
measured was about 3dB per 100ft at 3.5Mhz. That may have
been an exceptionally lossy line, or it may have been better
than normal.
