Yeah, skin effect at work. most are flat strap, not round wire.
Thats a dual channel set. (Two shielded flat straps)
But remember guys, these are real nice wire...
But they are still non the less coaxial capacitors still.
They are installed with a set of precision value passive components as a network at each end.
Look at a typical shop maintenance manual.
But they can be used bare if all you want is to see something, without much concern for what your doing to the signal.
As channel one would still be fairly real except for the capacitive effect of the delay line also attached going to channel two.
You can compare all but the very first part of the capture on Ch-1, then compare it to Ch-2 to judge distortion.
The capacitance, the waveguide effect (Standing wave), etc. all adds up on some degradation of the signal.
Still, this is pure hillbilly, even though it works good...
