If so, then:

Why does open wire line at high SWR's have only a tiny fraction of the loss
of coax even though it may use the same or smaller conductor sizes as
coaxial line?

Why does the loss in various types of parallel conductor lines (open wire,
ladder line, twinlead, etc.) increase in direct proportion to the amount of
insulation between the wires?
