I didn't study this site too deeply, but KP4MD has the most appropriate 
characteristics on her page, here, http://www.qsl.net/kp4md/zipcord.htm.
You might also look at Owen Duffy's pages. His transmission line calculator is 
great. I think the last entry for zip 105 is zip cord, but you should email him 
and ask. The page is at http://owenduffy.net/calc/tl/tllc.php

 My 80M antenna is a low, loaded dipole fed with balanced window line.  As the 
center impedance is  low the high impedance window line tries to invert the 
impedance to a much higher value.  The feedline is only 25' long and terminates 
in a 1:1 balun which is then connected to a remote autotuner via 24 inches of 
9913F.

The question is:

Has anyone run any RF loss tests on the commonly available 12 gauge clear PVC 
insulated "speaker" wire.  The impedance would be quite low, probably in the 90 
ohm range, and world certainly handle the applied power (500 watts) but I have 
not been able find any information regarding RF loss.
