I wonder if you mean that the apparent length of the wire is increasing
Erich. I suspect that the actual length of wire is not really changing -- at
least not significantly -- when the wire is sagging. The capacity to ground
is probably increasing as the wire droops toward the ground. I guess that
would be one form of capacitive loading.
