What you appear to refer to by "open wire line" is BARE wire with small spacers widely separated.
That's what Wes built to compare with the window line. Most practical implementations of open wire line use much wider spacing. The increased loss that Wes measured was due to water on the un-windowed parts of the window line -- in other words, a significant fraction of the dielectric between the conductors was water. That would not be true of widely spaced wire, insulated or not.
