What's the best wire for a wire and size antenna operating on 3413 8843 5574
13354 "2mhz thru 30mhz" Using a 706MKIIG & SGC 237 Tuner.



As far as RF is concerened, wire is wire.... From a mechanical viewpoint,
anything that doesn't stretch more than 5% is ok. From a corrosion
viewpoint, here in the North Pacific we use Phospher/Bronze wire on
all our Marine and Coastal Antenna Systems. The stuff is "PreCorroded",
lasts dang near forever, and doesn't stretch more than 2%, over time.

Bruce in alaska your mileage may vary.......
