I don't understand why 14 AWG XHHW-2 wire would work fine when used in ladderline for high-power HF transmission, but the same wire would exhibit higher losses when used in a twisted pair configuration.

Can anyone explain to me why ladderline has lower loss than twisted pair?

Thanks in advance, Mark

Ladder line vs twisted pair: where do the losses actually occur?
