Problem solved .... I think.

Just added some wetting agent - washing up liquid - to the water and re-sprayed. Losses jumped to 5dB/100ft at 26MHz!

Steve,

I hope you document the test on your web site.
It is extremely useful for people.

I'm afraid papers like Wes' scare people away from using commercial window

end many people miss out on the benefits of using this type of feedline.
