Dave,
    Could this wire be .... I can't remember the name. Like the very
old TV antena wire.  There was 2 conductors, each kept an exact
distance from the other.  This creats the same effect of  coax cable
today.  If this is true, these wires can only be cut only at the end
of the wavelength that it is to be tunes to. Unlike coax cable witch can
be trimmed to any distance.
