Default New LongWire Antenna - What Type Wire?

Bull**** David!

Buy yourself some WIRE! Get a roll of #12 teflon coated that will last
for years and not break if your neihbor farts in the same direction its
hanging....#12 stranded will take a lot of bending and flexing with the
wind. Believe it or not a #12 wire antenna is easier to tune and actually
picks up better than the hair sized crap that reminds David of his penis
diameter. Plus #12 is easier to solder on !.... At 30$ to 40$ a 500 foot
roll its a great investment! It comes in
green...brown...white...grey...red...blue...orange ect. so you can hide it
no matter what.

I've done the #18 and # 22 Mistakes before.......Never again! I can break
the stuff by stretching it with my bare hands.

If your not on lifetime public assistance like David?....go for the good
stuff!

As my existing fence is falling down and I have saved the 3K to replace
it it's also time for a new antenna. What type of wire would be best?
My existing antenna is around the fence about 8' in the area and the
area is shaped like [ with the long side running North/South.

I like 22g Stranded Tinned Teflon Coated
