Thanks to everyone who answered and particularly to Rick as this was the
calculator I was looking for.
It is surprising to see that the transmission line calculator in EZNEC which
uses round wires gives Zo as 139 ohms for wires of 20mm diameter and 15mm
spacing.
While with square conductors it is indeed 115 ohms. Quite a difference but of
course logical as well:)

it would affect the loss, but not Zo. There might be some sort of weird small
change due to skin effect, but it would be "tiny".
