[TowerTalk] Modeling Ladderline as an Antenna Element

[Joe Giacobello]

I am thinking about using ladderline for a folded dipole or for linear 
loading a wire antenna.  I wonder if anyone has successfully modeled 
ladderline and, if so, what parameters they used for the insulation.  I 
assume that the insulation is PVC, but what is the thickness and how are 
the alternating windows accounted for?

I'd appreciate any information that members of the reflector can provide 
on this subject.
