Hey Dan - thanks a lot! That looks much more reasonable, i.e. it's a lower impedance than for the corresponding two wire case. BTW, maybe you want to let B.C. Wadell know what you found ...

I checked it very quickly for d=10 D=100 Er=1 2D FEM solver =173 ohms, corrected formula =178 ohms. I don't have my Ref Data book here, its at home.
