John, re: "skin effect perspective"?

From: whatis.com

"A classic example is the so-called skin effect, in which current density is high near the outer surface of a conductor, and low near the center. This effect occurs with alternating currents at high frequencies.

Effectively, at extremely high frequencies, these currents would ride on the outside skin of the conductor, and quite possibly outside the range of normal interference sources and harmonics which are typically sustained on the system. Also, and in a more practical [or should I say, proven] sense, in hollow metallic waveguides, these high frequencies would ride the interior walls of the guide.
